SPECKELD WOOD BUTTERFLY - PARARGE AEGERIA TIRCIS

Apologies for the bad shots and I hope to get more of this species.

Spotted when two were squabbling in mid air and did not care that I was there at all?! I

Then after a 5 minute battle of the bulge one landed and then it DID CARE that I was there and I could not get the right angle to get some good shots.

The light spots looked iridescent in the sunshine and in all honesty they looked a rusty red when in battle probably due to the lighter colours beneath their wings.

Also I did not know what this species was called and I have to rely on family members to give me names of insects, lol.
