Female Cairns Birdwing

Sadly she will not survive for much longer. In trying to lay her eggs, for some reason they began to
stick to her instead of a leaf and every time she tried to lay another egg the problem exacerbated.
She was temporarly caught in an attempt to help, but the mass of eggs were caked to hard to be removed
without seriously causing her a fatile injury. All that can be done is 'let nature take its course.'
