Driving the long Tizi n Test pass in High Atlas, Morocco, I saw crossing the road some Zerynthia rumina. It was at nearly 1000 m altitude, end of march 2014. I think it is the africana sp. I also find some of them more south , near and inside Anti-Atlas Mountains... The picture is a specimen from High Atlas.  |

Did you picture some local Lycaenidae ?

Splendid Franck ! Could we see his biotope ? Did you picture some local Lycaenidae ? South of High Atlas, near the city of Taliouine, you can find in oasis another subspecies of rumina, sometimes the canteneri form.  |

This is the exact place where I found canteneri form. One egg on the Aristolochia plant... |
