Assassin bug sucks the insides out of a beautiful blue butterfly. Oxley Creek, QLD.

The false eyes of the underside of an Evening Brown Butterfly wing recently moulted from a chrysalis. This is a camouflaged butterfly that has a different patterned appearance depending on the season it appears in. Toowong, Queensland.
