Sorry for the photo quality! Images taken with a Chromebook camera. Butterflies sighted on the ground, on grass, trees, flying and interacting with one another while walking along Darling St, Lysaght St and Flemington Rd. Would approximate total abundance to be around 30 while maximum simultaneous abundance would be 14 individuals.

Seems to be a big influx at the moment, there were lots flying over my house this afternoon, hard to count numbers but at any given time there were always at least half a dozen circling around.
