Caper White Butterflies (Belenois java) are a migratory species which breed on inland caper bushes and sandalwood. They were seen in abundance surrounding Iga trees throughout the Northern Flinders and Gammon Ranges in November following a heavy rain. Igas are a laval food plant for the Caper White caterpillars and eggs are laid directly onto the leaves.
