Common Glider

Cymothoe caenis

Description:

There seemed to be many white butterflies with similar, but not the same, markings. Cymothoe caenis, the Common Glider, is a species of butterfly of the Nymphalidae family

Habitat:

On a dirt road that ran through the center of Kibale forest. Here patches of sun penetrated the forest and there were many butterflies.

Notes:

This looks like it could be the male Common White Glider, Cymothoe caenis though the markings are a little different.

thanks kibuyu... Aha, that's why many looked similar, but different!

They are supposedly very variable.
