Hi David, just confirming that you observed this butterfly earlier today?
   30 Jul 2022
Yes, it was today.

I've only got the first edition of Suzi's ACT field guide but it doesn't have them flying in July, so this may possibly be a first?
   2 Aug 2022
Yes, first July records. Congratulations David!
