Cairns Birdwing chrysalis - a photo on Flickriver

Cairns Birdwing chrysalis

This is certainly an Australian tropical rainforest gem to discover. It is the chrysalis stage of the Cairns Birdwing butterfly in the Wet Tropics, World Heritage Area, of far north Queensland, Australia.

To see the adults of this species including a mating pair in my butterfly and moths album go here www.flickr.com/photos/aussiegypsy/albums/72157651150719091

I really appreciate all who visit to view, comment and/or fave my nature offerings from various parts of Australia. Thank you!
