KL Butterfly Park Lake Gardens, Brickfields & Bangsar

This is a great place to get up close with a hundred or so of the 1100-plus butterfly species found in Malaysia, including the enormous and well-named birdwings, the elegant swallowtails, and the colourful tigers and Jezebels. There’s also a bug gallery where you can shudder at the size of Malaysia’s giant centipedes and spiders.
