Spotted this Common Eggfly butterfly ( Hypolimna bolina) this morning sitting in a Frangipani tree - it is a female. The males do not have the red spots.
identification from the usual website :

This is one I haven't noticed before but may well have been present and dismissed as the Australian crow ( Euploea core). They are similar with the white markings.

i'm curious as to what you define as "red spots"...
ok - let's try orange - you know my sense of colour is "challenged"
