Precis archesia

Another photo of the Garden Commodore or Garden Inspector.

And here the summer form.

   

Cassionympha cassius

Another record of our Rain-forest Brown.
   

Zenonia zeno

Another Hesperid: the Orange-spotted Skipper or Orange-spotted Hopper. This one is easier to identify compared with most Hesperids. It was quite common in our garden and the NBG.
 

Acraea oncoea

A rather nice picture of the Window Acraea. See also the previous post on this butterfly.
   

Imbrasia wahlbergi

Wahlberg's Emperor Moth. This one came into our house.
I learnt the following from Jason Londt:
It is quite eclectic in its taste for foodplants, that are both indigenous, and exotic trees (including fruit trees.) It is named for Johan Wahlberg, a Swedish naturalist from the last century who was trampled to death by an elephant while on one of his naturalizing trips.
 

Chilades trochylus

This is a rather elderly and faded individual. The Grass Jewel Blue, it is one of our smallest butterflies. This record was from Cumberland Nature Reserve and is my only one. It is probably overlooked rather than being uncommon.
 

Colotis antevippe

This is our Red Tip. The black moustache is characteristic but not definitive to of the sp.
The top two are of the same male. The black underside venation is that of f. gavisa (the subsp. is also gavisa.)
Below are different forms of the female. The tips seem to be quite variable.
