Notes
This had been amongst my top target species for my trip to Brisbane in November 2008, but as things turned out it’s most common a few weeks earlier, and it was beginning to look as if I wouldn’t see it. The one I finally saw was in a garden at Beerwah; it perched several times around the same area, but wasn’t being especially co-operative.
Since then I’ve only photographed this species twice, at Atherton and Herberton, inland from Cairns. I’d love to get more photos of this butterfly.
