Thanks Kurt, Are you able to check this site for possible Small Ant Blue butterflies later in the year. According to Suzi Bond's book, they become active around November.

Yes Alison, I will try to remember to check later in the year, but when I searched for Small Ant Blue on this website and it lands on a blank page ?? Interestingly I just found another coconut ant nest today on the same reserve, I’ll report it later.
