About Butterfly & Insect Group

The Butterfly & Insect Group is a Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Nature Society Singapore (NSS).
Singapore is home to 300+ butterfly species. These species face several threats like forest loss, pollution and pesticide use, and many species are threatened to extinction.

The decline of butterfly species has a significant impact on the reproduction of trees and shrubs. As part of nature’s food chain, their absence not only affects wildlife but also poses risks to the overall health of our environment. To protect these species, our Butterfly & Insect Group (BIG) strives to promote understanding and appreciation of butterflies.

We organise regular butterfly walks in Parks and Nature Reserves where we explore the beauty of these delicate creatures through observation, study, photography, and documentation of their presence in Singapore and the surrounding regions.

If you share an interest in butterflies and would like to participate in our activities or become a member of our group, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us or join us for one of our walks. We welcome butterfly enthusiasts of all levels of experience to join our passionate community.

Together, let’s explore, appreciate, and protect the wondrous world of butterflies.
