List of
Butterfly Species
observed at Sungei Buloh Nature Park (1999-2000)

The total number of species found at Sungei Buloh Nature Park is not exhaustive. A longer continuous period of observation may yield other species not recorded so far.

Some of the species noted have only been observed once, and not seen again in the past year.

The changing vegetation in the adjacent farmlands may also attract species not earlier observed.

However, it must be noted that on a "good" day, the casual observer is likely to record about 25 species.

A number of fast-flying butterflies from the Herperiidae and Lycaenidae families may also be difficult to identify with certainty in the field.
