Changi Airport has as butterfly garden tucked away in one of it's terminals. I wasn't smart enough to take a photo of the garden itself, but I can say that it has 2 levels & loads of room. There are loads of plants & now shortage of butterflies. When you have 6 hours to kill (thanks to being cautious about transferring from Tiger to Singapore Airlines) spending a half hour or so in the butterfly house is a good way to kill some time. I'm not totally up on my butterfly species, but the Internet gave me some guidance with a few.
The Blue Clipper was the most common (that day)
These Common Rose butterflies were the most interesting with their bright red bodies. They were pretty active as well.
I'm not 100% on this one, but I think it's called a Marbled White.
I have no idea about the last 2, but the dark one looks like a leaf.

Eventually we were on a plane back to Perth. It was again one of their new A330's and before we knew it, we were touching down. Those entertainment systems on those plane are awesome for chewing up flight time. By the time we went though customs & caught a cab home it was about 2am. It didn't matter to our little grey fuzz balls. They were still happy to see us.
