Yesterday morning we spotted this butterfly (there were actually at least two) moving around and resting on a medium sized shrub/small tree near the front of the property. We have several times over the years considered the ID of the plant but have never come to a definite conclusion - I have thought it to be a Eugenia sp but it looks like I might need to alter that.
The butterfly is an Australian Rustic or Cupha prosope
The above website mentions four native plants that are host plants:

Great looking little butterfly. Sorry I can't help with an I.D. on that shrub. Whatever it is, it's doing a fantastic job of attracting butterflies.
