Wildlife Spotting

I posted my mycalesis, if you would like to check them out for a comparison. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/17061612 Dave

It would be interesting to have a mission purely for the bush brown, documenting the seasonal differences and the associated weather patterns throughout the butterfly's range. Following this discussion and re-examining my images, I now believe that all mine are perseus. Should I put them up now or wait? Dave

I think Common Bushbrown nearing DSF: Mycalesis perseus - On the hind wing only the three posterior ocelli in a straight line, the rest strongly curved outwards (Wikipedia) and also using the ID key here -> http://www.flickr.com/photos/knkedlaya/4949083056/. But let's get confirmation from bayucca.

We could just enjoy trying to identify this one. Maybe we will have better luck when dominik gets online.

Pamsai, I still cannot find a match. I'll get back to you when I find a match.

I have four different types in my bush brown folder. The chances of getting any closer with any reliability is small. All the authorities are woefully behind on their images. Dave

I get quite a few of these on my daily safari. It is a bush brown, Mycalesis but I cannot get any closer than that. Here is a link to Indian mycalesis to get you started. http://ifoundbutterflies.org/444-mycalesis-dp2 Dave
