The Blue Moon Butterfly or Great Eggfly is found in Madagascar, Southern Asia and Oceania. It has a wingspan of 75-80mm and is found in lightly wooded countryside. One unusual feature of this species is that the females ‘guard’ the leaves on which the eggs have been laid.
I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
