Also spotted two other species new to me, but unable to get photos, either because it did not stop or because my camera jammed!

Les, our Plain Nawab is the subspecies plautus.

That Elbowed Pierrot looks like it's laying eggs.

Sorry about that, now changed.

We thought so too, but when we checked the plant, we could not find anything.

I have to say, your photo looks better
