Create More Butterflies

Create More Butterflies: A Guide to 48 butterflies and their host-plants for South-east Queensland and Northern New South Wales by Frank Jordan and Helen Schwencke, is an 88 page book. Many of the species covered have ranges that extend southward into the Sydney and north into the Gladstone regions and some beyond

It is packed with over 250 photos of living parts of the life cycles of those 48 different butterfly life cycles. Of particular interest are the many species that are able to be easily attracted to breed in any garden, if the food plants for the different species of butterflies' caterpillars are provided.

There are separate sections on getting started, native food plants we can share parts of, where to find good butterfly watching places in south-east Queensland, observing nature, raising caterpillars, the relationships butterflies and other creatures have with each other, nectar plants, and some spectacular day-flying and other moths.
