Notes

I saw this butterfly close to the top of the Terrace Garden at the Mount Annan Botanical Garden in Sydney's outer south-west. Fortunately, it settled on a small bottlebrush, allowing me to get some photos; admittedly not great ones as it was burrowed so far into the flower. It did disturb a couple of times, but circled around and returned to the same flower. Apparently this species has only been recorded from Sydney a handful of times, so it was a bit of a treat for me to see it here. Sightings Mount Annan - April 2008
