Field Notes

Habitat:

In low lying bushes along a path through the gardens of a lodge in NW Uganda.

Notes:

If I had seen this in India, it would be a Psyche, but that doesn't seem to be in Africa. Therefore I think it is probably Leptosia nupta
pseudonupta, the Petite Wood White. The antenae don't appear stripped on this specimen though.
