STAMP ISSUE:<br />

Nature Series -<br />

Butterflies<br />

DATE OF ISSUE:<br />

21 April 2010<br />

Butterflies are notable for their unusual life<br />

cycle with an egg stage, a larval caterpillar<br />

stage, an inactive pupal stage, and a spectacular<br />

metamorphosis into a familiar and colourful<br />

winged adult form.<br />

In this stamp issue, 4 butterfly species in<br />

Singapore, namely the Blue Glassy Tiger, the<br />

Common Birdwing, the Common Posy and the<br />

Tailed Jay are beautifully illustrated and featured.<br />

This stamp issue preludes the upcoming<br />

Butterfly Trail at Orchard Road. Spearheaded by<br />

the Nature Society (Singapore), supported by the<br />

National Parks Board and Singapore Environment<br />

Council, the 4km long trail starts at the gates<br />

of the Botanic Gardens, continues down Orchard<br />

Road and ends in Fort Canning Park.<br />

The trail is being billed as the first of its kind in<br />

the world and visitors will get specially produced<br />

maps to help them navigate and guide them to the<br />

butterfly hot spots.<br />
