A fuel stop

The number of butterflies around the garden is still high and one species that I see a lot is the Common Grass Yellow, Eurema hecabe but they are fast flyers flitting along close to the ground and not stopping long when they alight.
Today I was lucky to see one land on a flower to tale a sip of nectar before resuming flight and giving me enough time for a photo.


These butterflies are found mainly in the northern areas of Australia with their south eastern range to about the Sydney area.
