Flowers from Ikoro site, Rwanda

The following pics were taken of flowers and plants on the site where Ikoro Tented Camp is being developed. At this stage we still have no ID for many of them which I will add as I get the information.

A tiny flower hardly ever exceeding 1cm across growing close to the ground.



A lovely plant that grows quite high, in some cases reaching 4ft (insert on the site. The main pic is a close-up of one of the individual flowers.


This photo taken during May 2006. These flowers are only 3-5mm across (excl. the leaves). Growing almost in a shrub-like form and found mostly in the areas that haven't been disturbed for quite a length of time.

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.
