Africa Wild

Ja, thought so, too

but range does not fit according to Woodhall butterfly guide

Thank you very much for the lovely compliment and welcome Nan. I am glad I found this forum and all of you friendly folks.

Cool Toko! I see that it is indeed. Well, we are never too old to learn and I love learning new things every day. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Can only be Charaxes brutus natalensis it's the only black one with white spots besides Bushveld Emperor which is different on the underside

to hell with the distribution

Then so it shall be! Love the photo that's on Wikipedia. Now if I could take shots like that!

Thanks again Toko! Appreciate all your hard work.

Lovely flutterby...you can tell I have soft spot for them!

I do, I do Flutterby. You have a stunning avatar "Butterfly Queen".

Hi Sonel Thanks for your great contributions You're gonna love this place

Please confirm

Stink Bug Coridius nubilis
Family Pentatomidae


KTP

Coridius is a member of the Dinodoridae now, I think

Does not look like nubilus The photo in the field guide does not show the brown spot.

Would rather make it a Coridius sp. and a possibly nubilis/nubilus


But under outdated name Aspongopus sutor Stål 1853
http://www2.nrm.se/en/het_nrm/s/aspongopus_sutor.html

it has the brown patch

Aspongopus sartor Stål, 1854.

Hi ExFmem! Thanks for the lovely welcome and I can see that. It's lovely to be here!

Great bug shot! Wow!

Okay, Toko, thanks for all the further research. Will enter it under the more generalized nomenclature.
