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.
