Arrhenes marnas (Swamp Darter)

Other Common Names

Affinis Skipper

Notes

I’ve seen this butterfly’s close relative A. dschilus (Scrub Darter) many times on visits to Cairns, and was always a bit surprised that I’d never found marnas. A review of my unused photos during the COVID-19 lockdown revealed that I had photographed it in the Cairns Central Swamp.
