First CNM sighting from this site though has previously been recorded this location (Suzi Bond, Field Guide to Butterflies of the ACT 2016, 2018).

John it doesn't matter whether you spotted it originally or not; the record of the species is important! thanks for the photo and thanks to the person who spotted it. Great!
