Sunshine Coast's Big Butterfly Count

More than 100 butterflies are found in the Sunshine Coast region. The Big Butterfly Count will focus on recording observations of the 31 most common butterflies in the region. There are two ways you can participate. You can record butterfly observations anywhere in the region at any time during the count period. Or you can join an organised survey with others. To learn more about butterflies and how to create butterfly friendly gardens join one of our workshops. Visit https://mary-cairncross.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/bigbutterflycount to find a survey or a workshop near you. The Sunshine Coast's Big Butterfly Count is based on Brisbane's Big Butterfly Count which was initiated and developed by Brisbane Catchments Network (BCN). A tremendous amount of effort has gone into developing Brisbane's Big Butterfly Count and we are extremely grateful to Brisbane Catchments Network for generously sharing the survey methodology, images and advice so we can expand the reach of the butterfly count.
