Acraea macarista
Seen at the edge of the forest in a clearing for the Forest Lodge.
Haha bayucca, I was just going to comment that Acraea are so confusing to ID... frustraltion is more my emotion there!
But that little Pathfinder was definitely irritating. Just when I got everything setup, framed and focused, it would flit away, but just a very short distance, so I didn't have to move, just refocus the camera! Again and again and again!
Pam, I apologize, but there is a second identical one for this: Acraea poggei. I cannot separate them. So, I suggest that you take Acraea sp. as scientific ID and add both, Acraea macarista and Acraea poggei as possible candidate until someone else can confirm.
