Noble butterfly

We are delighted that Christel Spindler has taken over the sponsorship of the noble butterfly (Salamis temora).

This member of the noble butterfly family (Nymphalidae) is known as the "Eastern Blue Beauty". The upper wing surfaces of the males in particular are bright blue, while the females are slightly less intensely blue in colour. Both sexes reach a wingspan of up to 7 cm. This pretty blue butterfly species inhabits the rainforests from Nigeria via Central Africa to Ethiopia and Tanzania.
