Notes
This was spotted by Ian Hill in a swamp around Cairns. It was mostly keeping to a tree that was host to some mistletoes, though at times it flew over to
other trees nearby. It’s not the greatest photo, but the butterfly was about 30 feet up in the tree at the time…
I’ve checked out that tree multiple times since then, without seeing any sign of aenone. On my last visit the mistletoes all seemed to be dead.
