Common Grass Yellow Butterflies

Over the last few days the yellow butterflies have come out to play! We are surrounded by flashes of yellow I love the way they gather together under awnings and flit, fly and flutterby. They have been wherever I went on the weekend, even 100kms away. My grandfather was an avid fisherman – I think he went fishing nearly everyday in his retirement – or if he didn’t he was planning the next trip. He told us that his indigenous friends had told him whenever the yellow butterflies were out the bream would be biting.

These photos were taken over on the Clarence River near Grafton and are of the Common Grass Yellow Eurema hecabe – they are hard to photograph as they just seem to fly/float so quickly.
