I actually thought these wild flowers look very beautiful... didnt know they could be a menace!!! but anyways I used to live in Melbourne and I know the ecology is pretty fragile and it has been invaded by a lot of foreign species... hence the stringent customs check at the airports!!!!
Beautiful butterfly and sitting on Spanish Flag or West Indian Lantana.. A bad weed here in Australia!
