"Acraea serena", the dancing acraea, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. It is found in South Africa, including the area near the Waterberg Biosphere. But it is found also in the whole Africa south of the Sahara. It is the most common of the "Acraea", from Dakar to Fort-Dauphin, from Yemen to the Cape.
