Australia 1998 : Butterflies of Australia FDC


More than three quarters of Australian butterfly species occur in the tropical north and north-east of the continent, where abundant rainforest provides host plants and habitats for many species. Some 400 species of butterflies have been recorded in Australia.The stamps feature the Common Red-eye (Chaetocneme beata), found in coastal eastern Australia from Cairns in Queensland to Wollongong in NSW; the brilliant Ulysses Butterfly (Papilio ulysses joesa), seen in north-eastern Queensland, from Cape York to the vicinity of the Atherton Tablelands; the Meadow Argus (Junonia villida calybe) which occurs throughout Australia; a shining purple butterfly, the Dull Oakblue (Arbopala centaurus antaurus), seen near mangroves or around rainforest trees in coastal Northern Territory and Queensland; and the Red Lacewing (Cethosia gdippe chrysippe), found in north-eastern Queensland, from Cape York to Townsville.
