I was very surprised to see this butterfly blow in and onto this wattle a short distance away from me. Isn't it too early for them? Looks like a Painted Lady but seemed a bit small and not enough red orange.

They have been about in Canberra for over a month - not sure what the situation is in Albury - but I would think you would be milder (and earlier) than us
