Yes, it did look like it was interested in the lerp itself more than the crystalline matter. Interesting, so it's not quite clear then where this bug belongs if it's described under two different genus? Apparently Porphyrodema is a junior synonym of Zanessa - not sure what that means

The Australian Faunal Directory has this species in genus Porphyrodema. Meanwhile, in iNat it is identified as Zanessa rubrovariegata.
