Other Common Names
Brown Awl, Migratory Skipper

I saw these four or five times on my second trip to Cairns, in April 2006. I saw two of them settle on leaves, and was able to get close enough to get photos. But the others were feeding from flowers and I had no chance at all - they only settled momentarily before flying away very rapidly.
