Notes
This is another Delias species that spends much of its time up in the trees, making it hard to get photos. The first butterfly I photographed had damaged hind wings, and wasn’t as good a flier as the others in the area, which might be why it settled close enough for me to get photos.
In September 2008 I saw a few more of them around and got some better pictures, if still not as good as I’d like.
