User's notes

Terrible photo. There were these butterflies flapping around three very large mistletoes on a gum tree way, way up high. It was really hard to get any photo. They were black with red and yellow/orange on them. Not seen them before.

Think this is an Imperial Jezebel (though seems to be the underside). Interesting as I have not found one this season anywhere (uncommon on Nalican but usually get some around Beechworth)
Other options are Spotted Jezebel or perhaps Mistletoe Moth

Thanks Ewin. They didn't seem to have any white on them but they were high up. Sorry I didn't get a better photo.
