This is a small butterfly, native to the dry open woodlands of Queensland and New South Wales. This species has a close association with native ants, which tend its caterpillars in a mutualistic relationship. Once more widespread, the Pale Imperial Hairstreak is now listed as ‘Endangered’ largely due to habitat loss from land clearing and the decline of its host plant, the native Acacia species. Conservation efforts are focused on habitat restoration and protecting remnant woodland ecosystems.
