Terminal 3 Butterflies


Terminal 3 Butterflies

I was going through Changi Airport Terminal 3 to fly to the US and stopped by the Butterfly Garden in the transit area. They're incredible to look at - look at the beautiful markings on the wings of this butterfly.

They're remarkably easy to photograph too.  There are some butterfly feeding stations around the aviary.  These are flowers with their stems dipped in tubes of sugar solution - the butterflies then sip the nectar through the flowers and stay wonderfully still for the photographer.  This one was a slightly more challenging shot as the flowers concerned were in a separate area, and the butterfly was moving around from stalk to stalk.  So I'm quite proud of this particular effort.

Congrats to Changi Airport for this innovative butterfly garden which brings pleasure to the many passengers through its gates!
