Ant Plant
An ant, a plant and a butterfly
The Ant Plant (Myrmecodia beccarii) is regarded as ‘Vulnerable’ under both Queensland’s Nature Conservation Act 1992 and the Commonwealth’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
It is an unusual epiphytic species growing on the trunks of coastal trees including mangroves and paperbark swamps in northern Queensland.
The species is threatened by habitat loss, invasive weeds, and removal of plants by plant and butterfly collectors.
QTFN has guaranteed the perpetual protection of these threatened species through our Revolving Fund the Wet Tropics.
