User's notes
I'm guessing the butterfly's wingspan to be close to 30mm. It circled some Lomandra longifolia in the garden before briefly landing.

Hi @Curiosity, great observational notes and you are correct re the species. Could you remove images 2-4 and make a new sighting for them please? Image 1 looks to show a female laying an egg (Lomandra longifolia is the larval food plant) and is supported by your note on same while your note on images 2-4 is of male territorial behaviour.
