I found a good web page at:
http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Canopy/2954/
It a large number of butterflies including the Caper White.

It's certainly worth adding to your bookmarks file, even if the Geocities
ads are annoying.

Belenois java (Linnaeus) (previously: Anaphaeis teutonia)

They can migrate south to Melbourne in summer, so they are possible in
Frankston; even if the Caper White isn't around, it would be interesting
to see what species are around. Is there a Butterfly Atlas project? :)
