      Indeed, Carol. Do they frequent your garden, or are you just to deep inland?

         Previously I have identified the African Leopard butterfly in our garden, but I have not thought to double-check against the Forest Leopard butterfly! So I will have to look more closely in future to see if perhaps we do indeed get both.

   I had to look twice to see the difference between it and the African Leopard Butterfly that was featured in the WordPress Reader from your earlier post on that butterfly.

      They do look very similar indeed, John.

         A sad reality of the world we find ourselves in, Sue.

      Thanks, Brian. Perhaps they’re from a closely related genus?

   You have a steady eye, a steady hand and quick reflexes – much to my enjoyment 🙂

      I agree, Lois, that those underwing patterns makes for a pretty butterfly!
