Acraea egina (Elegant acraea)

As I was returning to the lodge I discovered that Chris too had not gone birdwatching, and he mentioned that he'd seen this butterfly beside one of the flooded areas of the track. I thus looked out for it and luckily it stayed in a small area beside the flood and allowed both ventral and dorsal photos.

Most photos seem to show this one with wings open.
