Meet the characters
Monarch
The Monarch's life cycle is a marvel, undergoing metamorphosis from egg to caterpillar, pupa, and finally emerging as a magnificent butterfly. Its distinctive coloration serves as a warning to predators, signaling its unpalatability due to toxins absorbed from milkweed plants, which are crucial for their survival.
Australian Blue
The Australian Blue Butterfly, belonging to the family Lycaenidae, captivates with its stunning iridescent blue wings. With various species spread across the continent, these butterflies add a touch of brilliance to Australia's diverse ecosystems. Their intricate life cycle involves a fascinating mutualistic relationship with native ants.
