Common Orange Forester

Description:

Euphaedra eleus, the Vermillion Forester or Eleus Orange Forester, is a butterfly in the Nymphalidae family. Euphaedra eleus is one of several red Euphaedra species which mimic day-flying Geometrid moths in the genus Aletis. The latter are noxious, so a bird that has tasted one is deterred from attacking any similarly coloured species. Adults mimic the day-flying moth Aletis helcita.

Habitat:

Flying along a forest path, quite far into the forest. Last photo shows the habitat.
