I am not sure if this is meat ants or red imported fire ants. They are certainly everywhere in summer here in melbourne.

Heliophorus epicles spotted in Melbourne for Saturday Critter
The Purple Sapphire butterfly (Heliophorus epicles), primarily found in Asia, has been recorded in regions such as the Himalayas, Myanmar, and southern Yunnan. In Australia, the subspecies Heliophorus epicles latilimbata has been noted, though sightings in Melbourne are rare and unusual, as this species typically inhabits tropical and subtropical forests at elevations between 600 to 2,100 meters. The butterfly's wings are dark brown with blue and red markings, with males showcasing blue patches on the forewings and females having orange-red zigzag lines on their hindwings. While Heliophorus epicles is not native to Melbourne, any confirmed sightings in the area would be of significant interest to entomologists.

Butterfly macro again for Saturday Critter
A 200mm f4 macro on the butterfly. Of course, I spray sugar water on the leaves first so they stay still harvesting the sugar.

Last night, I had some fine food at a city Japanese restaurant. I did meet a friend but my whole focus was enjoying the dishes off Ala Carte menu.

Butterfly for Saturday Critter
Thanks for a little break yesterday and today. I am exercising a lot more continuing the success of weight loss. Health is so important as I discovered its importance since last year.
