BROWN ARGUS BUTTERFLY Junonia hedonia zelima This butterfly rarely occurs south of Maryborough QLD. The only places I know of are BOONDALL WETLANDS; LAKE MACDONALD and PIONEER PARK @ GUEERULLA near Kenilworth. The larval host plant has to battle with invasive weeds, although the introduced Hygrophila is the host plant @ the lake where it outcompetes native species. In Maryborough the invasive weed Ruellia tweediana a persistent but very attractive flower has invaded the creek. At Gueerulla an African grass is the problem. TINY GRASS-BLUE BUTTERFLY LAYING ON KARAMAT: Hygrophila angustifolia BARUNG LANDCARE MALENY has KARAMAT in tubes. MEXICAN PETUNIA an invasive weed
