Notes
I had the pleasure of seeing this butterfly in several places around Darwin. Most of the time they flew around in a hyperactive manner without settling often or for long, but every now and then I’d have a chance to take photos when one
landed in a prominent spot in its territory, or to feed from a flower. Even then they weren’t easy to photograph, as they usually moved around whilst opening and closing their wings.
