Ogyris abrota (Dark Purple Azure)

Other Common Name

Scarce Mistletoe Blue

Notes

I was lucky to bump into this species whilst on my way back from a visit to Palm Beach in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. When I first saw her she was flying around a low mistletoe, and to my delight she settled to lay some eggs. She stayed around for a while, and also laid some eggs on a mistletoe in a nearby Banksia. Needless to say, I stayed around for a while too.
