The Butterfly:
RICHMOND BIRDWING (Ornithoptera richmondia)
This colorful insect is one of Australia?s largest butterflies. Habitat destruction and drought are two of the prime causes for the drastic reduction in population of late. An invasive species of vine, which causes 100 percent mortality rate among the Richmond Birdwing's larva, is another reason there are so few left in Australia.
