The undescribed Canterbury Plains Boulder Copper Butterfly mating pair at Silverstream Reserve. This site is at the East End main gate where they have found quite newly planted host plant (Muehlenbeckia axillaris) a few hundred metres away from the main host plant/butterfly population at East End of Reserve. Hopefully eggs laid.
