Gegenes niso niso
A skipper butterfly that has an olive green shimmer on the back.
High altitude mixed woodland (prim. Acasia bushes) and grassland. This was found on a flowering bush next to a gravel road.
Place for the spotting: Mlawula Nature Reserve, Swaziland. I did not manage to find very much information about the behaviour of this butterfly.
Thank you for the advice rautenbachf. I will keep that site in mind when I do research on my future spottings :)
Best regards

You can also submit your butterfly photo's to SABCA's virtual museum site. They do accepts photo's from all African countries. It is free to register and you can also see many photo's of the butterflies from Southern Africa.

There are projects for other animals as well.
Hej rautenbachf! Your suggestion seems more right than mine, and what a funny "common name". Thank you very much for the correction :) I also found this great link, that actually helped to convince me http://www.drlegrain.be/0nyungwe/jour/He...
Have a great weekend :)
