Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Gardens

Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Garden

Trogonoptera brookiana albescens, Female and Male

The beautiful and biggest butterfly gardens that I have ever been into, are the Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Gardens (Taman Rama-Rama). They are located on the Bukit Aman, the remainder of rainforest in the middle of the City of Kuala Lumpur. It is a huge garden surrounded with netting, so the butterfly species cannot escape. It was my bad luck, that when I arrived it started raining, but luckily it stopped after around thirty minutes. The gardens are really impressing, as they have many rare and big butterflies flying. Most of them captive bred. There is a display where one can see who butterflies emerge out of the chrysalis (pupa). They also have display cages with alive insects, such as divert beetles species from Malaysia and a huge deadstock collection. Bad luck again, as my Camera had no more battery so I could not take photos of all of them. Even though the prizes might seem quite expensive in comparison to other Malaysian attractions, it is definitely worth visiting, as the butterflies can be observed in almost natural habitats, and it is easier then searching for them in the wild, believe me, haha. Please find all pictures I took in the link list, at the end of this article. Any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
