This butterfly was 1st seen in the eastern cape in 1858. It was not seen again until the 1970's when it was found in Natures valley. It dissapeared from there in the late 1980's due to development
In 1991 it was again found on a farm in the easten cape
It belongs to the Lycaenid family
Which butterfly am I referring to?
