Angled Red Forester. A Butterfly in Hong Kong

 


AJP found this butterfly in Hong Kong last week right next to the Great Barbet nest he found earlier.

The Angled Red Forester (Lethe chandica) was first recorded was first recorded in Hong Kong in 2011. It is not known if these butterflies have simply expanded their range in southern China or if they were introduced as eggs or caterpillars on imported plants. Given they are found in Guangdong, my bet would be on the former.
