How well do you know the local wildlife? You are invited to meet the Wildlife Identification Challenge!

Can you identify these butterflies of Moggill Creek using the MCCG Digital Field Guides?

Which of them is the odd one out?

1.

2.

3.

ANSWERS:

  1. Caper Gull (Cepora perimale)

  2. Caper White (Belenois java -female)

  3. Caper White (Belenois java -male)

    The Caper Gull (Cepora perimale) is the odd one out, the other two are both Caper Whites – female and male of the same species. However, the strong yellow colour in the photo of the female Caper White fades quickly after hatching.
