Eating a broad leafed grass, I know it is indigenous and often found in the KZN forests,paricularly in the Krantzkloof nature reserve, always around river course. Very large. |

Definitely some Acraea larvae and probably A.horta. It would be interesting to know if it was actually eating the grass or just waiting on the grass to pupate. The grass looks like Setaria megaphylla which is a foodplant for some skippers. |
