A few species of Butterfly in Australia have caterpillars which have been found feeding on the foliage of plants in MYRTACEAE, namely:
Badamia exclamationis | Chaetocneme beata | Chaetocneme critomedia | Chaetocneme denitza | Netrocoryne repanda | Jamides cyta |
Jalmenus daemeli | Hypochrysops apelles | Hypochrysops cyane | Hypochrysops ignita | Hypochrysops miskini |
Hypochrysops narcissus | Anthene seltuttus | Hypolycaena phorbas | Arhopala micale | Arhopala centaurus |
However, caterpillars of several thousand species of moths in many families, in Australia, do have a preference for feeding on foliage of plants in MYRTACEAE including:
Strepsicrates macropetana | Urapteroides astheniata | Tymbophora peltastis | Hestiochora tricolor |
