The last week or so, I’ve spotted several of these Caper White Butterflies in my yard. They seemed to favour the bottlebrush over the Dusty Miller but it was hard to catch them still for very long.

Like the Jezebel from a few posts ago, this one is plain black-and-white on the upper wings, too.

Thanks for looking.

On 15th November 2021, I declared I would blog every day for the next 365. Progress?

We’re having a cloudy day today, warm with promise of a late shower. Out with the Nikon D3000 earlier, this Red-spotted Jezebel butterfly conveniently landed in the bottlebrush right by me.

Thanks for looking.

Do have yourself a good weekend, and stay safe.

Mr. R. and I have kept up with our walking on most days, and really are enjoying our forays into the National Park. There, a few days ago, this Australian Admiral female Common Brown (Heteronympha merope) butterfly landed long enough for a photo. I’d already walked about 3 kms, so wasn’t interested in traipsing after it!

Updated after I found the right butterfly at the Butterfly House website. I discovered: ‘The adults, like those of many NYMPHALIDAE, have only 4 legs. ‘ Huh? So some have six? Must take notice, next time.

Thanks for looking. Stay safe.
