Life is like a box of Chocolates

Chocolate Grass Yellows, that is. :bsmile: Looks like this species is in season. I stumbled on a group of 30-40 Chocolate Grass Yellows last week. In this shot, after waiting for them to re-assemble, only shows 21.

They must be breeding like mad somewhere nearby. :thinking:

Amazing!:what: :what: Where was this shot?

The host plant is Archidendron ellipticum, a plant very common in CCA and BTNR, as well as in central parts of Southern Ridges. :)

Thanks, Horace. I presume you've already nailed the full life history of this species? :)

Nice shot. I love to come across groups of butterflies like that. Here in Australia, I rarely see puddlers.

Regards,

it must be fun living in a land of different candies for each and every day. What great opportunities to capture sheer beauty. William

Thanks. Unfortunately, only a record shot. Not easy to capture a group like that with our usual clean and green backgrounds! :)

Thanks, David. Have you tried our local prawn cocktail to attract the Aussie puddlers? Or perhaps the local cuisine for butts needs something else. :thinking:

You have great nature offerings over there in the US that we don't see in our part of the world.
