2023 April 20<\/b><\/p>\n

Although a few butterflies were reported in March, April so far has been a disaster for
\nbutterflies, with only five individual butterflies reported to Invertebrate Alert so far this month.\u00a0 Today has been cold, wet and windy, with more of the same forecast for the next few days.\u00a0\u00a0 During this period of butterfly scarcity, we are indebted to Ian Cooper for giving us some excellent photographs of little-seen invertebrate creatures with which many of us are not at all familiar, if at all.\u00a0 Here are some of them from last night.\u00a0\u00a0 * Colquitz River Park.\u00a0\u00a0 #Galloping Goose Trail, View Royal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
