This is a moderately common butterfly in southern Australia and can be found from
low altitudes to alpine areas in summer, but tends to prefer wooded areas.
The upper insides of the wings are orange-brown, changing to black for the outside half
which contains distinctive yellow areas.
The outside of the wings are mostly mottled brown and grey giving excellent camouflage.
