Byblia ilithyia

The Spotted Joker, told different from the Common Joker by the spots on the hind wing. I have found it just as common as the Common Joker.

Cymothoe alcimeda

The Blonde Glider. At first I had mistaken it for the Battling Glider.
A first for me. It is not common, and is usually found closer to our east coast.
In fact this is the Battling Glider.

Acraea horta

The first Garden Acraea of the season.
 

Precis archesia

A rather handsome Garden Inspector
 

Charaxes zoolina

Club-tailed Emperor, two remarkably different seasonal forms. Above the DSF f. neanthes, that was in our garden. Below the WSF, f. zoolina, found by Mandy near the Mozambique border; sipping beer. Both have a single anal tail, making them males.

 

Belenois zochalia

This butterfly would appear to be quite uncommon. This my one and only record, a lifer! I found it in our garden. The tracery on the underside of the hind wing is delicate. The yellow hind wing and cream fore wing make this a female.
 

Colotis auxo (male)

This is the male Sulphur Orange Tip. The winter form has paler colours lacks the apical black border.
