Unusual incidence of dwarf butterflies following protracted rains in Southern Queensland
Abstract
In April 2010, unusually large proportions of small individuals were recorded in the following butterfly species: Papilio aegeus, Tirumala hamata and Hypolimnas bolina. This trend was not evident in Euploea core. Starvation following earlier population surges may explain this trend.
