Other Common Names

Union Jack, Northern Union Jack, Mysis Jezebel

Notes

I’ve seen this butterfly every time I’ve been to Cairns, without getting one that would pose for my camera. Finally, whilst at Copperlode Dam with Bob Miller, we found
a female feeding from lantanas. At Fishery Falls in May 2010, I got decent shots of a male and a female, and both were much better specimens.
