Orange Palm-dart (2/2)

Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae

Cephrenes augiades  

At the end of the first week of May in Melbourne I was not expecting to see any butterflies in my suburban park other than perhaps the odd Cabbage White or similar species, robust enough to turn up almost anywhere at almost any time of year.

It was a pleasant surprise, then, to see this Orange Palm-dart taking advantage of a little sunshine.
