I find various types in this species with shades...and made it most interesting one..!!
Success with your suggestion Ashish,thanks! Great link too, I actually spent almost a week in Kakamega Forest Reserve. It's one of the last lowland rainforests left in Kenya.
I haven't tried it but I was just checking it out. Seems like a great resource for my unknown butterflies in Ghana, my only problem with it is that it's not very user friendly. I don't know what family I am searching for and I have to click on every family and species to search. I can do it, just going to be very time consuming. It's a good start, thanks.
Dan, have you tried this site? http://butterflies.bcghana.org
