- The Caterpillar of Australian Gull is green with yellow dots and white hairs. They feed on wild Caper.
- Pictures were taken on White Hill top on late summer. At first we thought this butterfly was the Yellow Albatross. Both butterflies were yellow and white and colour with black wing margins. However, their wing margin patterns are quite different.
