Abstract - Observations are provided on the pollen loads and adult feeding behaviour of two Australian butterflies, Euploea core corinna (Macleay) (Nymphalidae) and Danis hymetus taygetus (C. & R. Felder) (Lycaenidae). It appears that both species are capable of pollinating Bursaria spinosa Cav. (Pittosporaceae).
