Eggfly Butterflies

Over the last couple of days, we've noticed a few of these butterflies patrolling the trees in our back yard. They are territorial and when Zem and I got too close, they made a show of driving us away. One hatched from a chrysalis yesterday, so I think there may be a food plant out there somewhere, but I haven't found it yet. In the mean time though, we are going to enjoy these beautiful creatures.
