This is a cute one. Its a fraction smaller that the common eggfly but soooo much cuter. I saw only one during my visit to FNQ (Innisfail). They occur in Papua and New Guinea too.

I haven't found it either (but I admit to not looking that hard...). I hope someone can ID it! Martin?

Thanks Emma! Hi Daniele! This was free to roam. I'm sure I've seen it before but cant find it anywhere now.

I'm intrigued by this one Leanne! Was it free in the botanical gardens or inside a butterfly house?
