We are having a really good season with these guys. This girl hatched this morning. After seeing her sitting on the vines seed pods in the sun i couldn't help my self but to get the camera.
She was pretty freshly hatch as her wing are still wet and crinkly at the ends.

Cairns Birdwing. Ornithoptera euphorion
Both sexes support their weight when feeding at flowers by rapidly fluttering their wings. Males occasionally compete for flowers with other nectarivores, such as small birds, and usually succeed at driving them off by aggressively flying towards them.
They have a rather short life span as a butterfly only lasting four to five weeks.
Australia's largest endemic butterfly species. The wingspan can be up to 15 cm (5.9 in) in females, and 12.5 cm (4.9 in) in males.
There was a spectacular and rare genetic mutation of this butterfly, where single aberrant female produced less than 40 aberrant progeny. The females were pale instead of dark, and the males were golden instead of green.

Wildlife im Revier - Raubfliegen
Die Familie der Raubfliegen oder Jagdfliegen (Asilidae) zählt innerhalb der Ordnung der Zweiflügler (Diptera) zur Unterordnung der Fliegen (Brachycera) sowie zur Teilordnung der Spaltschlüpfer (Orthorapha). Es gibt rund 7.000 Arten innerhalb dieser Familie, womit sie zu den artenreichsten zählen innerhalb der Klasse der Insekten. Diese werden in 11 Überfamilien sowie 530 Gattungen eingeteilt.
Butterflies are large enough to be captured like birds in flight and every frame seems to be new with same settings every time, because there are colour full flowers and the freeze of wings add to beauty.
