Colotis doubledayi ?

I suspect this can be a pair of Colotis doubledayi. A rare species confined to the dry areas in southwest africa, from northern Angola to Namibia and most northern part of South Africa.

Theclinae: Myrina silenus ?

We had a lot of these flying high up in a fig tree. A very beautiful butterfly but very hard to catch.
Finally managed this male almost falling down from the balcony on the second floor.

Sorry for the poor picture and specimen ...

Re: Luanda, Angola 1992

Thanks a lot Cabintom. I have one more Colotis (could be a pair of Colotis doubledayi) on the spreading board at the moment. I will be back with those in a couple of weeks.
