In Australia there are two native Lepidoptera insects, the Purple Brown-Eye and Common Red-Eye, whose larval stage feed on camphor despite it being an introduced plant to there.
Many butterfly larvae eat the leaves of this plant, including Chaetocneme beata, Chaetocneme critomedia, Chaetocneme porphyropis, Graphium sarpedon, Trapezites phigalia and Trapezites petalia.
