First time I've had this species in Wodonga. woo hoo. both were sitting for long periods of time on leaves. They looked very shiny but not at all wary of me, so not entirely sure if they were well or not!

I was very surprised Claire - and one is still there. Each day its either on the little daisy or thereabouts. I wish I could get a photo of it in flight. I can thank COVID for being stuck at home and looking more closely than I normally do!
