Had a lovely surprise in the garden, this afternoon. Spotted a Australian Admiral aka Yellow Admiral (kahukowhai in Maori, New Zealand). I knew I’d seen this type here before, but not a living specimen. I blogged about finding a dead one on my car bonnet one morn.
Since the first sighting, there’s been a Meadow Argus or two about on the fine days.
Thanks for looking. Do take care.

As kids, we always called this Small White Butterfly a cabbage moth. My dad had wonderful vegetable gardens and – cringe – he had us using our tennis racquets as weapons of mass destruction when these butterflies came to lay eggs.
These days, they get free rein in my garden, no matter what their caterpillars eat. Here, it is in the abelia bush.
Thanks for looking. Stay safe.
🙂
