The Bulloak Jewel Butterfly is Australia's second rarest
butterfly. The caterpillars are carried to the ant's nest
high in the bullock tree by the "goldlock ant." They look
after them and keep them safe from predators.
The ants heard the caterpillars out at night so,
they may feed on the bullock leaves. Unless the
ant is present, the mature butterfly will not lay
her eggs.
