Located a minute's walk from the Imbiah Station, the corridor is open to the public for free.
SDC CEO Thien Kwee Eng and Mr Khew Sin Khoon, an avid lepidopterist, led the ceremonial planting ceremony on June 19.
The green corridor, which spans 500 square metres on mostly hilly terrain, with plants such as Marsh Holly, Geiger tree and Chinese violet, links the Imbiah Nature area to Sentosa Sensoryscape. Sentosa Development Corporation’s chief executive officer Thien Kwee Eng, and Mr Khew Sin Khoon, 65, an avid lepidopterist also affectionately known as “Butterfly man” in the local butterfly community, led its ceremonial planting ceremony on May 19.The Cheilocostus speciosus is one of the plants being planted to form the new butterfly corridor at Imbiah Terrace on June 19, 2024.
However, he added: “Mother nature is unpredictable, we cannot guarantee a specific number of butterflies, but by creating a corridor, it will attract them for the growth of their population and the continuation of their species.” Mr Khew added that butterfly caterpillars are very finicky with the plants they consume, citing that without a specific plant, caterpillars will run out of food sources and die out.
