Hi John and others.
 
There are thousands of Caper White Butterflies around the Southern Highlands at present, and very likely to be around Canberra as well.
They love a good flower to sip, although caterpillars are destined to go hungry, in the absence of suitable food plants (Capparis genus)
 
Creamy exterior of wings, white with black margin on upper wings (females have larger black margins).
 
2 photos attached.
My Blog post of last week might be relevant.
 
Wikipedia is useful.
 
Cheers
