October 2011. Two butterflies from Africa. The first (left) is from fruit trees in Zanzibar, and the second (right) from Malindi (Kenya).

The first (left) is Papilio nireus (very variable); and the second Danaus chrysippus (also variable). Another member said that the bright yellow butterfuly is figured in Pennington’s ‘Butterflies of Southern Africa’, and appears to be Danaus chrysippus aegyptius (f.transiens).
