25.01.2022 BCSA is pleased to be involved in National Science Week 2020 with special guest speakers Emeritus Professor Roger Kitching, Jan Forrest OAM, Mike Moore, Gerry Butler and Greg Coote and will focus on the Lycaenid family of butterflies and the special relationship with ants and caterpillars.

25.01.2022 Today I represented #BCSA at the #Ukiyo Floating World #SALA exhibition at the #MarineDiscoveryCentre and spoke to the #SoldOut crowd about the importance of butterflies in our environment. This partnership with our member and artist Wonkie Knee Art is very important to us and we hope to do more soon and similar programs with other artists. Cheers Gerry
