Working on clearing the weeds which have so energetically sprung up in Wildwatch’s little patch of forest since the cyclone, and planting trees to replace those which fell, has provided excellent opportunities for quiet observation.
It is delightful to be surrounded by butterflies. There are the easily observed Cairns birdwing and the Ulysses butterfly, the birdwing relatively slow flying in comparison to the dancing, nervous Ulysses. But there is a myriad of smaller butterflies too, some easily identified, others still a mystery.
