The false Chief
The false chief or false diadem. One of many butterflies I spotted at the Sabie River near Hazyview. The greater Hazyview area is home to half of South Africa's butterfly species.
Pseudacraea butterflies mimic other butterfly species meaning their superficial resemblance to other species results in a distinct advantage, which usually means protection or better access to food for either itself or its offspring. The real Chief butterfly
