The Long-tailed Pea-blue butterfly has a wingspan of about
25mm. It is very common and occurs in most
parts of Australia. It has a wide range of host plants, and is common in urban
areas. The larvae feed on numerous native and
non-native pea plants, including garden peas and beans, sweet peas and lupins.
The larvae prefer to eat the inner parts of buds and flowers, and the young
seeds within developing seed pods. It is sometimes considered a pest for these
reasons. |
