Acraea
This butterfly was observed in Nairobi near the National Museum, Kenya, March 2013.
Acraea butterlies feed on toxic plants as larvae (caterpillar) and retain the
chemicals in their bodies so that as nectar-feeding adults they are avoided by
birds and other insectivores. Many are brightly colored with reds, yellows and
orange - aposomatic colors. Black and white is also a common warning pattern
used by a wide range of animals.
