I just saw a Cairns Birdwing!

I am so excited!  I'm sitting on my veranda in Yungabarra, and darned if I didn't see this gigantic butterfly.  It's as big as your hand, and strikingly beautiful.  Here's a link:

I'll never get a photo, so that's as good as it will get!

  2. It's spectacular It looks like a bird, it is so huge, probably six inches wingtip to wingtip (I could look it up but I am feeling lazy). I saw the Ulysses today, it's an incredble electric blue.
