Graphium choredon. A rainforest species that rarely lands except when feeding on nectar from flowers, drinking water from pools … or laying eggs, as this one is doing.

Melanitis leda. A very tatty individual, perhaps many weeks old and a near-miss victim of hunting birds. They tend to fly at dawn and dusk … hence the common name.

Eurema hecabe. A wet-season migrant from the far north of Australia.

Catopsilia pomona. An occasional visitor, although sometimes in very large numbers.

Delias argenthona … usually seen flying high in the canopy. Larvae feed on mistletoe.

Psychonotis caelius. One of several small blue species rarely landing but filling the air with colour.

Catopyrops florinda, not an uncommon species but one with particular habitat preferences … including rainforest edges.

Euploea core … widespread throughout Asia and northern Australia, this species is protected from predators. It is quite inedible due to the chemicals extracted from food during the caterpillar stage.

Circopetes obtusata. A distinctive and familiar moth to us, often seen in our southern forest. It is found all around the east coast.
