blue-banded eggfly

Hypolimnas alimena

Description:

dark colored butterfly with blue and white markings

Habitat:

Butterfly house in the melbourne zoo - all australian species

Notes:

We had a tight itinerary or we would have planned on the Cairns butterfly house. Good thing we hadn't as weather issues cut our Cairns time very short and we didn't even see half of what was sdcheduled
