On a fine day at this time of year, a walk up the No. 1 Line track will almost certainly result in meeting one of these delightful little butterflies. Apparently, the New Zealand coppers (Lycaena spp.) are being revised, so I won't attempt to name this one.

I have a huge soft spot for butterflies - and going to a butterfly farm is high on my wish list. Seeing them in their natural home is such a gift. Thank you.
A delight to the eye, whatever they call it.
EC, New Zealand has very few butterfly species but some, like the admirals and the rare forest ringlet, are very beautiful.
Zhoen, definitely a delight.
