Butterfly and Moth Species Recorded at
Kingfisher Park Birdwatchers Lodge
Many species of butterfly and moth occur in Kingfisher Park Birdwatchers
Lodge grounds with some of the more spectacular ones quite common.
These include Cairns Birdwing and Ulysses Butterfly. If you are
lucky you might see the largest of moths, the Hercules Moth. Other
butterflies such as Orange Grass Dart, Blue Triangle, Union Jack,
Banded Eggfly and Orchard Swallowtail are regularly seen. Many of
the rainforest butterflies stay high up in the canopy and are yet
to be identified by us.
