Lepidopterists of Twitter, please help. Is this visitor laying little orange eggs on my Dutchman’s Pipe friend or foe to the vine’s intended target? #wildoz #Butterfly #TwitterNatureCommunity

The Butterfly and the Ants is a charming picture book about the relationships between plants, ants, caterpillars and butterflies. Follow Blue the caterpillar as he meets some welcoming ants and undergoes an amazing transformation! Ages 6–9.

That exciting time of year when the Marbled Xenica #butterfly or Geitoneura klugii are flying in Mt Taylor Nature Reserve #Canberra #biodiversity @NatureMapr @CitSciOZ @ausbutterflies

@mmap73 @amy_ayres1235 @rachaellehr @SimonBoard2 Fabulous! Where are you in Australia? That will then depend on which butterfly-food plants will be suitable for your area. Also as you are school-based you will need low (less than 3m), non-toxic plants. @CitSci_Geek dud something similar a few years back. #PrimarySTEMchat

[Michele Pikunic @mmap73]

@amy_ayres1235 @rachaellehr @SimonBoard2 Wanting to develop a butterfly garden at our school with students @ausbutterflies hoping to connect with a gardening group or local butterfly expert. Have some ideas #PrimarySTEMChat

[Amy Ayres @amy_ayres1235]

Last question! #PrimarySTEMchat Let's see if we can ramp up the shares and start the new year with some amazing suggestions! @rachaellehr @SimonBoard2

[Butterflies Australia @ausbutterflies]

Spring has definitely sprung Down Under!

How many #butterflies have you seen today?
Which plants were they feeding on?

Download our app and upload your findings to help us find out where the butterlies hang out.
