Description
THe tattered butterfly who landed on my friend in Wildlife Sydney Zoo Butterfly tropics section, is the Australian native female Varied Eggfly butterfly.The female butterfly has several different colour forms.
This territorial butterfly is named because the spots on the male’s wings are a distinctive egg shape. The spots show striking colour changes from white to blue to purple when seen at different angles.
The caterpillars are usually more active at night which is when they feed.
The butterfly often rests with its wings open during the day. The females differ in colour, pattern and size to the males.

Thank you, do you know that my friend Rosemary once had a lunch with orang-utan, as they were having picnic on overseas holiday, he went to sit next to her and share her food !! :)
