Unfortunately dead, but still in relatively good condition. Due to the wings being folded, one wing had to be cut away to reveal the wing underside. The location where the butterfly was found is within relative close proximity to Buffelsberg. |

This is probably the most amazing record the VM has yet produced. We were in the process of declaring this a 'doubtful record' in SA. It was actually quoted as being found near Buffelsberg on its host plant. None of us believed the guy who claimed to have reared it from there, now we have to reconsider! |
