The Richmond Birdwing Butterfly (Ornithoptera richmondia) is the largest subtropical Australian butterfly. It was once common sight throughout Brisbane and was abundant from Maryborough to Grafton in northern New South Wales. In 1870, local newspapers reported thousands of Richmond Birdwing Butterflies throughout the streets of Brisbane. However by 1926, natural history enthusiasts noticed a massive decline in the south, west and east of the city. Due to habitat loss, it is now considered a vulnerable species. West Village throughout the precinct is working to plant the Richmond Birdwing Butterfly’s natural food source – the Birdwing Butterfly Vine (Pararistolochia praevenosa) to help restore the butterfly population of our city. An artwork entitled Growing Installation by @we_are_studio_winter and @uapcompany has recently been installed onsite and celebrates this stunning creature. 🦋
