White-barred Acraea

In southern Africa we only get subspecies encedon (i.e. Telchinia encedon subsp. encedon). The other subspecies, T. encedon rathjensi is found in south-western Arabia. (Source: Wikipedia, Acraea encedon).

Tina, I would say yes. I just took this link from your perevious ones: http://www.sntc.org.sz/biodiversity/sdbutterflyphotos.asp?pid=307&spid=643 I do not know if there are others subspecies of Telchinia encedon found in your area or elsewhere. In neotropical butterflies subspecies are sometimes very important, since they represant a special phenotype or special location of a butterfly that makes it different from others. If this is the case in yours, I cannot judge profoundly.

So Beautiful!;)

Yes, Telchinia encedon encedon.

Wow, so many butterflies uploaded already... I can't wait!

This is most likely another White-barred Acraea. One that can look similar is the Window Acraea, but the spots on the wings on that one look a bit different on that one. The colours can be very variable: http://www.sntc.org.sz/biodiversity/sdbutterflyinfo.asp?spid=643

definetely acraea genus...
