Butterflies, Moths & Caterpillars

IN PROGRESS April 2020

Here are some of my local butterflies, moths and caterpillars.  Trying to match caterpillar with flying adult is not easy!  But for the record, these are some that I have found in Capertee Valley in NSW, Australia.

Note that butterflies have knobs on the end of their antennae, moths do not.
