This is a highly significant record; the closest record is located near Taree NSW. This species appears to be expanding its range in Australia since arriving in northern Australia in 2012.
User's notes
I first observed this butterfly flying to a rose from a distance, and I came closer and did not know its species, specualting relation to the Glasswing. It flew onto the grass, and I ran and took a photo, before it flew with another individual and later flew over the fence with one more individual.
