Other Common Name

Olane Azure, Dull Purple Azure

Notes

I sometimes see olane when on hilltops in the Blue Mountains, and also at Mount Sugarloaf. It’s easier to see this butterfly than it is to photograph it, but every now and then one settles in a position where it’s possible to grab a shot or two.
