Family Nymphalidae Heliconiinae
As with many butterflies, the females of these are more colourful than the males.
They prefer wooded savanna and open coastal forest from East London along the eastern coast and from Gauteng northwards.

We have few butterflies this year, think that our summer is just not arriving and it is still too cold for them! Great photos. Diane
