Delias argenthona
This series shows two butterflies of the same type (although the wing markings are quite different from each other) which were resting about a metre from each other in the wattle tree in our back yard. They stayed there for ages. Both had chosen to land on a branch with some sort of bulbous thing growing on it - I'm not sure if that means anything, or if it's just a coincidence. These butterflies usually feed on mistletoe (how festive)!
