Quite a few of them about; but very flightly - didn't like me getting close at all. Most were resting on the westringias or silver leafed shrub with yellow trumpet flowers.

An above shot of the trailing edge of the forewing. I suspect this is U. pulchelloides anyway, because I believe I can just see a fifth red spot there.
