Objects of Substance- Rangakarra Birds & Butterflies Signage

In a similar way, I used a list of eighty-two butterflies compiled from species sighted along the Moggill Creek Catchment 2002-2008 by Dr Don Sands. Specific food plants for the butterflies and their caterpillars have been among the shrubs that have been planted on site by many Grammar girls and staff over the years. A set of butterfly cards that captured images of male and female specimens, wingspan of each gender, common and scientific names, and designated which one of five families to which it belonged was developed by Year 8 Multimedia and Interactive Technologies classes. In June 2016, a butterfly poster was erected at Rangakarra and on a walk through the property that month, I sighted twelve species.
