Butterflies of Ikoro

Near "reception" at Ikoro (as yet unidentified)
Found early in the morning in patch of sunshine seemingly catching a bit of warmth.
















N-East Corner of Site (a species of Amauris, Danainae sub-family)
Both these butterflies were found in more or less the same area at the Ikoro Tented Camp site (see link to Ikoro).

This is how we're compiling info on the Lepidoptera (butterflies & moths) at the site at the moment i.e. through photos as we haven't done or planned any traps till we have enough reference resources and/or lepidopterists present.
