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.
