Thanks, Marian and Don :t: !

Marian, in the tropical lowlands butterflies are present all year in good numbers with some species breeding continuously throughout the year. Numbers do increase quite a bit during spring and summer. The fallow rice fields around the village are full of Common Grass Yellows and Long-tailed Blues at the moment. In the forests there are quite a few Tiger & Crow species about and a few Swallowtails.

Congratulations on your Blue Tiger Mark, these guys migrate right down through Queensland to the mid North Coast of New South Wales, its quite a distance but I guess pales in comparison to the Wanderers
