Arrhenes dschilus (Scrub Darter)

Other Common Names

Iris Skipper

Notes

I’ve often seen these attractive skippers in grassy areas close to rainforest around Cairns, including in the Central Swamp. To my mind fresh specimens are very lovely indeed, and they do tend to settle and pose nicely for photos too, which is another factor very much in their favour.

Sightings
