The Lurcher butterfly is dark brown above with broad orange band across both pairs of wings. The underside pattern is pale brown or brownish grey with a less distinct band. Female butterflies are slightly larger than males.
Lowland rainforest and vine thicket, often near creeks or moist areas
photographed in a garden area with butterfly and bird feeders
This was photographed in a garden with bird and butterfly feeders. The area was not enclosed so the butterflies were free to roam.
These spectacular butterflies are found in northern Queensland. This is sitting on an artificial feeding apparatus so I guess this was observed in captivity.
