Description:
I rescued this lovely butterfly from drowning in a swimming pool.
Dr. David Lees from the Department of Zoology of the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, and the Natural History Museum in London, helped me identify this species.
I met David in Madagascar in January 2014 during his research work in Andasibe-Mantadia NP and had the pleasure of spending a few days together.
David has extensive field research experience in Madagascar and is considered the leading expert on Madagascar butterflies.
