Honey, I fed the ants
After the January bushfire at Raakajilm, the Sugar Ants that look after our Mallee Bronze Azure butterfly were short of food. So for two months I cooked them dinner: about 60 trays of homemade honeydew jelly a night. Recipe included.
Nationally threatened?
The Mallee Bronze Azure butterfly has been prioritised for assessment as nationally threatened under the EPBC Act.
