Calypso White (Belenois calypso) and Falls Acraea (Telchinia acerata) in My Garden

avatar

Today, I bring to you Calypso White (Belenois calypso) and Falls Acraea (Telchinia acerata) butterflies. I captured them this morning before the rainfall! However, the Calypso butterfly was not able to flap its wings before it flew away. Telchinia acerata was a rather calm butterfly with small wings and low sensitivity. I captured it while it flapped its wings. They are really beautiful. Tomorrow, I hope to see it once more, and I will showcase my findings to you all! Come on — these pictures are adorable.
