On the 17th of April we went for a walk on the Kawatiri walkway in Westport and saw a Blue Moon Butterfly (a male, I think). By the time I organised the camera it was gone but a local said a number of them had been blown over from Australia in a recent storm.

There was a report from a couple of weeks ago about a whole lot of these in the Golden Bay area, so probably worth looking out for them all over.
