User's notes

A large aqua blue and brown-black butterfly, the darker colours (the undersides look more brown than the black of the uppersides), providing a wide margin around the triangular shaped blue patch on each wing (both sides). Some small red spots appear on the underside of the hind wings. I believe this is a ‘Blue’ Triangle (Graphium coredon), and the same Sp. as at sighting 4667500. It is perched on the (to date) unidentified plant recorded at Sighting 4656467.
