Likewise, agree with Hesperilla picta, lovely image. Plants, what other Gahnia species does this butterfly use aside from Gahnia clarkei?

A couple of books state that Gahnia melanocarpa is used as a larval food plant.

Thanks plants, didn't know that. Which is the preferred larval food plant for H. picta in this area?
