The bottoms of both wings looked pretty tattered.

This is a male and they spend summer defending a breeding site usually on top of a hill.They are pretty pugnacious and take on any flying butterfly so its wings get a lot of wear

I've spotted quite a few in central Albury last 2 weeks fluttering by. Just no camera to take a photo!
