The
Common Grass-blue has a wingspan of about 22cm. It is
one of Australia's most common butterflies and occurs in every state, including
Tasmania. It can be found in almost
every environment, from mountain to coast. It is common in suburban gardens and
can even survive in industrial areas. The larvae feed on
both native and non-native pea plants, including garden peas and beans, clover
and lucerne. The larvae eat the flowers and leaves as well as the seeds in young
seed pods and are therefore seen as pests by some people. |
