justification : this species has an extremely large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend appears to be stable , and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but the species is described as generally common to frequent , although scarce in the himalayas ( gibbs et al . 2001 ) , while the population in china has been estimated at c . 100 - 100 , 000 breeding pairs ( brazil 2009 ) . trend justification : the population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats .

a widespread inhabitant of the rainforest zone of africa . single individuals usually seen perching on leaves or flowers . male a brilliant greenish - blue above , female dark brown , but large silver spots of underside make it unmistakable .
the table mountain beauty ( aeropetes tulbaghia ) has been nominated by lepsoc to become south africa’s national butterfly . it is a large and attractive butterfly , widespread throughout south africa ' s mountains and endemic to sa and zimbabwe . it is the only pollinator of many of our wild flowers including the red disa ( disa uniflora ) .
one of the most strikingly red butterflies of the south african east coast . fresh males stand out like beacons . the gregarious larvae feed on the attractive indigenous shrub / small tree , african dog - rose , xylotheca kraussiana . gardeners whose plant gets defoliated by these larvae – causing no permanent damage – will be able later on to enjoy the presence of this ' flying flower . '
this astonishing sphingid was found in the kibale forest of western uganda . whilst taking a break and lying on some undergrowth we spotted this moth deep in the undergrowth on some dry leaves . its resting posture is vastly different from that of set specimens .
the mulanje tiger moth ( callioratis grandis ) , is an extremely localised species known only from mount mulanje in malawi . it feeds solely on the mulanje cycad , encephalartos gratus , and was here raised to full species status and assessed as critically endangered using the iucn criteria .
one of several atlas moths found in africa , and of two found in south africa . they are related to the giant atlas moths of south - east asia , which are among the world ' s largest insects . atlas moths typically have large transparent ' windows ' in their wings , and a ' snake ' s - head ' pattern on the forewing tip . this species ' larvae feed on croton and zizyphus .
afrotropical swordtails ( graphium ) species were examined and their life histories described in a metamorphosis article and some relationships were suggested . graphium leonidas zanzibaricus was reinstated as a valid taxon in the same article .
pilodeudorix baginei is a jewel of mabira forest that makes a sudden and dramatic hilltop appearance at about 5pm when many a lepidopterist has already called it a day and headed off home . they suddenly appear in fair numbers and dart around before settling with open wings right before your eyes ! but once again it’s a male only party , with females being ever elusive .
the strange hovering behaviour of male scarce fig - tree blues ( myrina dermaptera dermaptera ) was observed and photographed for the first time by steve woodhall around a fig tree at shongweni in kzn .
this butterfly is found throughout most of the afrotropical region ( including arabia ) . there is a separate race ( ssp . ramonza ) in madagascar , some of the south - west seychelles islands and the comoros . in south africa , is found from about east london , north - eastwards . an energetic , territorial butterfly which is very common in northern namibia .
this magnificent butterfly is found across central and eastern africa . its habitat consists of forests , including riparian forests and heavy woodland . it is a mimic of day - flying moths , and glides effortlessly across the forest floor .
this butterfly is a well - known and widespread species , found from west africa to kenya and south to northern zambia . it prefers secondary forest and is a frequent visitor to damp , muddy places . cyrestis camillus is the only species within the cyrestinae subfamily .
iolaus aemulus is one of the epamera subgenus , many of which have gorgeously marked undersides with orange or red stripes on a pearly white ground . short - barred sapphires are seldom seen on the wing ; the best way to see one is to find a pupa and wait for it to eclose , as i did with this male .
the silver silk cocoons are easy to spot in the tops of the leafless marula trees during winter . the cocoons even have small holes in their sides that resemble parasite infestation , probably as a defence against parasitism . when in flying in the moonlight , the pale spatulate ends of the long tails appear as a strange flickering pulsation which makes it’s flight path disorientating for the observer .
this critically endangered butterfly flies high in the wolkberg mountains of limpopo , and is restricted to three small localities . its larvae feed on rock lichen and are cryptic and exceptionally difficult to find . the adults are bright and colourful but have to wait until the clouds lift to fly .
this spectacular butterfly that is very common but seldom seen . they breed on a variety of figs and the larvae are easily found on the terminal fresh leaves . the females are often observed ovipositing by walking up and down the branches of their selected fig - tree . otherwise it is an extremely rapid flyer .
vestal birdling is a small white moth in the family geometridae ( subfamily sterrhinae ) . like many small lepidoptera it relies on bird - dropping resemblance to a void predation . the wings are marked with tiny metallic scales , which glitter in the light .
these calypsos were very common last june in the mabira forest of uganda . mudpuddling in the power - line clearing was their main occupation , congregating in their hundreds in groups made up exclusively of calypsos .
this is a large central african rainforest butterfly that likes to perch with open wings in the sunlight , and is not averse to a slow and steady approach – which makes it every photographers dream subject ! the brilliant deep blue of the male almost matches that of the celebrated morphos of latin america .
this butterfly is closely related to chrysoritis dicksoni but its habitat is totally different , flying high in the drakensberg foothills in small colonies .
hawkmoths are mostly nocturnal , whose larvae have a characteristic horn on the tail end . oleander hawk is one of the most attractive species , found almost all over africa , but also in asia and southern europe . its larva uses many other plants besides oleander ( nerium ) e . g . carissa ( num - num ) , adenia and mango .
this butterfly is found in central african rainforests , along paths in dense primary forest , and it appears to favour small hills and ridges within this habitat . the afriodinia genus contains most of the representatives of the riodinidae family in africa .
while driving across central gabon we stopped at an informal rubbish - dump with a strong colony of mosquitoes , but also a fair colony of these amazing butterflies . their uppersides are drab - brownish and they settle on the ground with wings open , which masks their identity . closer inspection revealed their astonishing underside colours . 5 days later at the same spot they were gone .
those who are familiar with south africa’s blue banded papilio nireus lyaeus will be astonished at the broad blue bands of this central african swallowtail . it is a common and very powerful flyer , but luckily has a weakness for mud - puddling and lantana flowers .
rocksitters are endemic to south africa ; there are four species , of which amakosa is the most widespread with several subspecies . the adults rely on their camouflaged undersides when they sit on lichen covered rocks . they lack mouthparts , cannot feed , and are short - lived . the larvae feed on lichens and take almost a year to fully feed .
this beautiful moth with it’s psychedelic iridescence is not uncommon in the north - western forests of madagascar . it prefers flying in the late afternoon , and luckily for the observer it frequently settles with open wings on low vegetation but always with it’s hindwings pointing up . this moth will literally stop you it your tracks…
morant’s orange is the only representative of this genus found in south africa . it is widely distributed throughout much of eastern africa , but seldom common . its habitat is savanna , including brachystegia woodland ; males are regular hill - toppers . larval host plants include various combretum species .
this lycaenid butterfly is found in south eastern africa the habitat consists of woodland , coastal forests , grassland and grassy areas in savanna . both sexes feed from the flowers of herbaceous plants and small flowers . the larvae feed on lantana camara .
a relatively common and very striking species , whose underside resembles a dead leaf , this butterfly is widespread throughout tropical africa . subspecies rattrayi is found in western uganda , rwanda , burundi and north east tanzania .
welcome to the lepidopterists’ society of africa ( lepsoc africa ) , a group of enthusiasts dedicated to the study and conservation of butterflies and moths in the afrotropical region . our society is a forum for individuals or societies who are interested in this field – we endeavour to publish material , circulate information among our members , participate in relevant conservation and research projects , and to coordinate public awareness of butterflies and moths within africa . by joining lepsoc africa you will be gaining access to the fascinating world of afrotropical butterflies and moths and to the equally fascinating people associated with them ! jeremy dobson
this software programme allows lepsoc africa members to upload their collection and observation data into a database , and to use collection curation tools such as specimen labels . lepibase combines all these records submitted by members and allows lepidoptera distribution data to be stored and analysed to produce distribution maps .
the corel ( custodians of rare and endangered lepidoptera ) programme was initiated by lepsoc africa in 2011 and aims to secure the survival of our threatened butterfly and moth species . it is funded by the brenton blue trust .
the caterpillar rearing group ( crg ) was launched in 2012 and combines the efforts of both expert lepidopterists and citizen scientists to discover the life histories of all lepidoptera ( moths and butterflies ) occurring in africa . if you’ve found a strange caterpillar eating your plants and you want to know what it will become , this is the project for you . you don ' t have to be a lepsoc africa member to take part , but if the
rearing bug
bites you will want to meet your fellow rearers and becoming a member is the best way to do this .
lepimap is an african lepidoptera mapping project . it is run jointly by the animal demography unit of the university of cape town ( adu ) and the lepsoc africa . the aim of the project is to determine the distribution and conservation status of butterflies and moths in africa . it combines the enthusiasm of citizen scientist ( photographers ) with the expertise of lepidopterists who can identify their pictures . you don ' t have to be a lepsoc africa member to participate .
salca ( southern african lepidoptera conservation assessment ) was initiated in 2015 by lepsoc africa as a response to sanbi ' s call for experts to contribute to the five year national biodiversity assessment ( nba ) programme . the project aims to assess the conservation status of southern african butterflies and moths , and is due for completion during 2017 . this is a members only project , as it requires a high degree of expertise , and is funded by sanbi .
this project aims to fill biodiversity information gaps , to promote better informed development decision making in the karoo , in order to conserve important biodiversity assets . the project was launched in 2016 , and is funded by sanbi . experts from thirteen
taxon groups
are contributing , and lepsoc africa has been contracted to conduct butterfly surveys on 50 sites thoughout the so - called shale gas exploration area of the karoo . participants need to be members ( permits are required ) , who are expert at butterfly identification , and the project will run until december 2018 .
the butterfly evolutionary diversity project ( bed ) is a three - year research enterprise led by sanbi . bed project seeks to map patterns of evolutionary diversity for butterflies across south african landscapes . it aims , through collecting dna samples of all south african butterfly species , to identify areas not only of high butterfly species richness and conservation concern , but also areas of high evolutionary importance . lepsoc africa will be the main collecting agency for this project , which will also provide the phlyogenetic analyses to enable us to resolve a number of taxonomic issues .

the tree of life web project ( tol ) is a collaborative effort of biologists and nature enthusiasts from around the world . on more than 10 , 000 world wide web pages , the project provides information about biodiversity , the characteristics of different groups of organisms , and their evolutionary history ( phylogeny ) .
each page contains information about a particular group , e . g . , salamanders , segmented worms , phlox flowers , tyrannosaurs , euglenids , heliconius butterflies , club fungi , or the vampire squid . tol pages are linked one to another hierarchically , in the form of the evolutionary tree of life . starting with the root of all life on earth and moving out along diverging branches to individual species , the structure of the tol project thus illustrates the genetic connections between all living things .
the affinities of all the beings of the same class have sometimes been represented by a great tree . . . as buds give rise by growth to fresh buds , and these if vigorous , branch out and overtop on all sides many a feebler branch , so by generation i believe it has been with the great tree of life , which fills with its dead and broken branches the crust of the earth , and covers the surface with its ever branching and beautiful ramifications .

the awls and related genera have long , narrow forewings , rounded hindwings with a characteristic deep fold at the inner margin and produced at the tornus . the adult sexes are alike excepting that males have specialised scales and scent brands on the forewings . they have large labial palpi which have a thin third segment protruding ahead of the eye . the eyes are large , an adaptation to the crespuscular habits of this species .
this list forms part of the full list of butterflies of india ( hesperiidae ) which itself is part of the complete list of butterflies of india .
the common name similar awlking is that of taxon similis ( vide evans ( 1932 ) ) which is not recognised as a valid species by savela and by tolweb ( ref its page on genus choaspes ) . taxon similis is now considered to be a synonym of taxon xanthopogon .
the species is considered to be furcata by [ lepindex ] , and as furcatus by tolweb . savela gives it as furcatus without appropriate reference for the change . accordingly it is being retained as furcata , with furcatus as redirect , pending the availability of a proper reference .
hasora alexis ( fabricius , 1775 ) is a synonym of h . chromus vide lepindex

in 1963 , at the height of the war , president ho chi minh inaugurated what is now the national park , with the words : “forest is gold . we must conserve it well . destruction of the forest will lead to serious effects on both life and productivity . ” so cuc phuong national park is now the star of conservation in vietnam . just 130km from hanoi , with daily scheduled buses , accommodation at the edge of the park as well as in the centre ranges from the modestly luxurious to basic – catering for any budget . good restaurants are available . very few similar forests allow such comforts .
the cuc phuong butterfly fauna is one of the best studied in vietnam . the present list of verified species has passed 400 thanks to the research by ikeda et al . ( 1998 - 2002 ) , hill & monastyrskii ( 1999 ) , and hao et al . ( 2005 ) . but it ' s likely that dozen of species remain to be discovered . a total of 450 species is a safe estimate . this is 40 % of the known butterfly fauna of vietnam . so the number of species of butterflies in this not very large forest ( 220 square km ) is the equivalent ot the entire butterfly fauna of europe . this is biodiversity writ large !
three weeks ago i was back to cuc phuong , a place i have visited many times for birds , but only a few times for butterflies - yes , butterflying and birding are very hard to practice at the same time , and even more so if you are photographer ( you will have to change lens all the time ! ) . i stayed there 1 , 5 day . by the end of the first day i saw around 80 species , and i added 25 more species the following morning . but it ' s possible to spot more than 100 species in the park on a single , good day - but you will have to let your camera in the bag and use more the net !
( abundance : + 1 - 2 specimens , + + 3 - 5 spec . , + + + more than 5 spec . )
again this species eluded me - couldn ' t get a close - up shot arghh . . . !
stichophtalma fruhstorferi note on unh the small streak ( red arrow ) inside the discal cell . in vietnam , only s . fruhstorferi and s . uemurai show this feature
some butterflies have slightly less salubrious habits than we like to think . . .
i thought it was a new species for my personal list but i couldn ' t find anything in the vietnam ' s polyommatinae list that matched up . a . monastyrskii solve the mystery : it ' s ' just ' an aberrant female specimen of ( very likely ) pseudozizeeria maha !
two species of tongeia are known from vietnam ( monastyrskii & devyatkin , 2016 ) : t . potanini ( subsp . potanini in the north , subsp . umbriel in central vn ) and t . ion ( north only )
comprises of 4 species , all of which being limited to the oriental region . in vietnam 3 are recorded -
keen birdwatcher with a love of the natural world , all that is beautiful and ugly and everything in between . my peace comes from being outdoors in amongst nature .
, i am always actively aware of butterflies , and tried to photograph ( and sometimes collect ) specimens as much as possible .
i hope that the more people who see the beauty of these fascinating creatures , the more it will lead to an appreciation that we need to be more pro - active in protecting them against the actions of humans that seem to only be concerned with
development
and monetary profit .
s mostly around hanoi ( ba vi , tam dao and cuc phuong national parks ) .
beautiful and graceful , varied and enchanting , small but approachable , butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life .
