Reporters comments:
"Saw a male "blue moon" butterfly yesterday feeding on our zinnias and calendulas. I have pictures that I took using my ipad. [Requested - Robert] We live in the Pohangina Valley, just 15 minutes north of the Manawatu Gorge and of Ashhurst. (So this is the Western side of the Rhuahine Mountain Range.)"
