This butterfly explored the lemon tree, briefly stopping at leaves while fluttering her wings. She did not have the slightly frayed wings of the one seen on 25 Dec.

Thank you for your observation. I wondered if she might be laying. No eggs seen but I will do a more thorough search now. I'll also be on the lookout for larvae.
