The Jezebel Nymph, Mynes geoffroyi, is an Australian rainforest butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. The species is contrasting in its markings with its upper wings being white with wide black border on the outer edge of forewing, and narrow black border on outer edge of hindwings. The underwing markings are black with yellow, red and white markings. In flight the alternative white of the upperwing and predominate black markings of the underwing act similar to ta strobe light and make the species difficult for predators to focus on.
Another great shot Damien,great detail in both butterfly and plant well done mate :)
Hi Martin, Sorry for delay in response been away enjoying a walk in the mountains of Oz. Thanks for the comments. I was lucky with this one as i originally took it just to identify the butterfly. I’ll take it though and appreciate you stopping by.
