Another recently spread Ugandan specimen.
I would welcome any thoughts as to species...
It is very nearly the size of a typical Monarch
butterfly. A delightful species in its own right !

I suppose it is Hypolimnas dinarcha.

My knowledge of African butterflies lays next to nothing.
Seeing similarity with Asian Hypolimnas I just search on google “Hypolimnas in Africa” and the species came up.
It was quite easy search
