The attached photos were taken in our backyard by my wife.

To me it looks like 2 different species - size, colour and shape are different. But the black & white one seemed fascinated by the bigger whitish one (which looks very like one that was recently discussed on this chatline).

Are the species the same? If not why were they'cavorting together'? And what species are they?

One benefit of their behaviour was that they were in the same spot for quite some time rather than fluttering all over the place like most of the butterflies that we see in our garden.
