Dasyuris leucobathraObservador
christopherstephensDescrição
carefully photographed on a rock on the side of one of the infinite sinkholes...
Taking a leap here (for the ID, not into the hole) but mainly based on the gold scales. The alternative seems to be Dasyuris leucobathra which is also a pretty good fit except it seems to have fewer gold scales, and one of the middle white bands is much more more diffused based on the Landcare photos (per this photo: https://inaturalist.nz/photos/6116520)

This site is at the East End main gate where they have found quite newly planted host plant (Muehlenbeckia axillaris) a few hundred metres away from the main host plant/butterfly population at East End of Reserve. Hopefully eggs laid.
