Field Notes

Notes:

There are two specimens in this spotting, 1st one in the 1st two pics and the other in the next 3 pics. The second one was female and was laying eggs on a tree. It spent quite a lot of time fluttering around and laying eggs and was still laying when I finally left the spot after about 45 minutes.
