Hypocysta adiante
Small orange-brown butterfly with darker brown at the fringe of the wings and eyes/target spots on each of the hind wings. Approx. 30mm wingspan.
Bushland, open forests. Found in Queensland, News South Wales, Northern Territory, Northern Regions of Western Australia.
Spotted while out on Yuggera/Turrbal Country at the Seven Hills Bushland Reserve in Brisbane (4170), Queensland. I love photographing butterflies but they can be tricky to capture with all the flitting about. This fella followed me a little way down a rock track and stopped just long enough for me to grab a happy snap then off he went into the wild to live out his best butterfly life doing what butterflies do best. Thanks for posing little mate!
