Alt. 2129 m asl. cf. Lydenburg Opal. Could be the specimen I had photographed (live) 5 mins earlier, this one had recently been killed by what seems to be a Robber Fly. Separated the dead butterfly from the Robber Fly to show the under side of the wings. Interesting predator-prey interaction among different insects - survival of the fittest! |
