Black/orange butterfly, Amber Mountain, Madagascar

Poor photo taken from a distance, and then cropped. I'm sharing it in hope of it being a species we don't have yet. Species under investigation.

  Indeed, there are very few photos of this species and the first search was in vain. I decided to go through the Wikipedia list again until I found it. Posted 9 years ago

    oh my, I've went through that list so many times (all species combined), still so hard to find a match. Posted 9 years ago

        It makes sense now that you show this evidence :) Posted 9 years ago
