Golden drink

This from a set I call my Quarantine macro series.
This is a Taractrocera papyria ssp. agrualia it was expected to become it's own species T. agrualia (unaware of it's happened yet) it's common name is Western Grass-Dart.
This cute little guy is roughly 20mm or so.
They're quite quick fliers and often settle on grass and occasionally flowers for a drink. Their food plant is a native grass.
They have a very distinct resting position, I think it's quite similar to a fighter jet. Its fore wings sit upright or vertically while the hind wings sit horizontally.
They have a stunning gold colour that really shines when caught by the sun. The males have a mark or sex brand on the fore wing for identifying between males and females.
