Macleay's Swallowtail at Surprise River
Graphium macleayanus feeding on Leptospermum lanigerum (woolly teatree) at the Surprise River lookout along the Lyell Highway, Central Highlands, Tasmania.
Not a great shot by general butterfly standards but these guys were moving fast around the tops of the larger shrubs and trees. My first really clear sightings of this species. There seemed to be lots around and below the King William Pass.
