Description / Inspiration

Butterflies, with their vividly coloured wings and fluttering flight pattern, lend a special touch of beauty to nature. Importantly, they help flowers pollinate, eat weedy plants and provide a food source for other animals.

There are about 17,500 species of butterflies in the world. Butterflies and moths are the only groups of insects that have scales covering their wings.

Flying Fife is a treasure trove and home to 23 butterflies, 5 moths and 5 caterpillars found in Australia.
