Alice Springs Bug Life series…
Author Andrew Turner / Koh Lin ◦
The nature of the landscape and attractions here in Alice Springs provides an incredible backdrop to the many butterflies and moths that call Alice Springs Home…
We present here just some of the butterflies and moths we have been lucky to see in Alice Springs. Sometimes it may be the eggs, larva and caterpillars that we see, as well as the adult form that we know commonly as butterflies and moths.
From those that live on the shrubs and trees that line the streets, to those found in our backyard, parks and gardens, and even those lucky enough to be rescued from the backyard pool, keep your eyes open as you never know what you may see… 😀
