Another butterfly that I haven't posted before even though it is a reasonably frequent visitor is the Sword-grass Brown Tisiphone abeona and as the name suggests there is a relationship with with sword-grass species, Gahnia a tall clumping sedge with very sharp edges to the leaves. There are a number of Sword-grass species that the butterfly larvae feed on but the one we have growing on our property is Gahnia sieberana.
There are a number of variations of this butterfly and they range from South east Queensland through to south east South Australia. This form ranges from the mid-north coast to the south coast of New South Wales.
