The Butterfly House is a sustainable habitat for many different species of Australian Butterflies. The species and number of butterflies may vary due to seasonal changes and weather conditions.
BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION
Gold Coast Butterflies are passionate about Butterfly Conservation. Butterflies are important pollinators in our environment, but numbers are declining mainly due to loss of habitat and the use of pesticides.
We can all help by planting butterfly friendly plants in our gardens. These are Nectar Plants for adult butterflies and Host Plants for caterpillars.
Gold Coast Butterflies have many of these plants on display and available for purchase. Send us an email
We also have Butterfly Gardening Kits available containing all the information you need to get you started including nectar and host plant seeds.
EDUCATION SERVICES
Gold Coast Butterflies provide Education Services available to Schools, Kindergartens, Child Care Centres, Home Schoolers, Aged Care and other groups.
We provide Incursions to Classrooms for the ‘Butterfly Presentation’. One of our experienced team visits your classroom to provide an engaging, informative 45-minute presentation on the Butterfly Life Cycle and their conservation, illustrated with visual materials, songs, fun facts, and the stars of the show: live butterfly eggs, caterpillars, chrysalides, and beautiful adult butterflies.
This Presentation is also available as an exclusive Excursion to the Butterfly House providing a unique experience with the Butterflies and caterpillars.
