@HelenCross Hi Helen, You have both an ORchard Swallowtail and Dainty Swallowtail larvae in these photos. The large orange one is the Dainty Swallowtail while the smaller white and brown one is an Orchard Swallowtail.

Thank you! I really was just super lucky - right place, right time - and a butterfly that was fully intent on feeding!

Such a gorgeous shot! I spent ages chasing these guys in Tidbinbilla last year and only ever managed a couple of blurred action shots, super impressive work!

Thank you! I nearly missed it, as I was concentrating on fast moving beetles much higher in the bursaria. I'd never seen one this still before (but I've only seen four), and was stoked that it was feeding just in front of me at eye level. Such a stunning creature!
