Heteronympha banksii - a male defending its territory at the top of a bush. This butterfly only appears in autumn, when it is regularly sighted patrolling sunlit patches around the forest. It lays its eggs on grasses, which the larvae feed on through winter.

Heteronympha merope - a female resting on the forest floor. The females mate in the spring, but aestivate over the hot summer months, hiding out in the cool gullies. They re-emerge in autumn when they lay eggs on a range of plants, including Themeda and Poa. Their larvae emerge as adults in spring.

Hypocysta metirius - probably our most common butterfly. It is seen throughout the forest in large numbers from mid spring to mid autumn. Their larvae spend the winter feeding on grasses.
