Look what I found yesterday - a 'common jezabel' (Delias nigrina).
It was happy enough to sit on my hand and be photographed.
As the name suggests, they are quite a common butterfly and are regular visitors to our garden.
Their caterpillars feed on mistletoes.
Cheeky!
(Poking it's tongue out!)
Cheers,

I just LOVE that last photo!!!
You are so lucky Sandi to live with such amazing mixture of animals in your back yard!
Wowee!
These are truly spectacular creatures and I can't believe you were able to get it to not only sit on your finger but it allowed you to take a photo as well.
You must be a truly gifted naturalist.
