Description These pretty little butterflies are about the size of a 10 cent coin (about 2cm wingspan)

I believe they are only found near Bathurst (at Yetholme) because they need snoe each year, a certain type of accacia & a certain type of ants to survive. (i think i got all that right)

Wow
I have never seen on of these butterflies before. I can't say I've ever been out to Yetholme either.
They're so pretty <3
Really nice composition in the shot too. Lovely that everything is blurred except the butterfly
