[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a male Yellow-spotted Blue (Candalides xanthospilos), I posted a female earlier here (here).

A locally common species that is distributed through the coastal woodland of eastern Australia. They have a wingspan of 26mm and fly from September to February. They often hang around their larval food plant of the Genus Pimelea. I found this one perching on an emerging fern frond at Thirlmere Lakes National Park.
