Ogyris ianthis (Golden Azure)

Other Common Name

Sydney Azure

Notes

After many attempts, I finally saw this species on a hill near Avalon. I had a number of sightings of a female (maybe two different individuals) flying around the mistletoes. She/they landed several times, once or twice very low down, but never for long enough for me to get a really decent shot.

On a later visit I saw two or three males and a female, and using a very big lens I was able to get one or two just-about-OK photos of a male sitting quite high up in a tree.
