Field Research

 

 Camaro flats area 1 This is a haven for 280 butterfly species.
 Colotis (Colotis) Ione whiteleyii was discovered here with a
  large variety of variatypes.
 
  Camero Valley area1 This area is found below the flats
  where three new butterfly species have been found including
  a large variety of variatypes still not recorded.
 

  Camero Valley Area 2 In this section we have found many
  Papilio including Papilio ophidichefulus phalusca. many tips
  are ranging along the river banks including Colotis (colotis)
  eroni
and this is far from any costal areas.
 
  Oribi Flats North Miles of untouched grassland and ravine
  forest lies along the entire flats areas. many Acraea and
  Pierinae species fly from as early as 5;30 in the morning.
  Temperatures can reach into the 40's centigrade.
 

  Oribi Flats South Miles of untouched grassland and ravine
  forest lies along the entire flats areas. many Acraea and

  Pondoland Area 5 This area has still not been explored and
  has a potential of presenting some interesting finds. However
  we have put up trap nets and have met will success over a
  large variety of Charaxes. We will be doing allot more work
  here soon.
 

  Pondoland Area 1 This area has still not been explored to its
  fullest extent and has a potential of presenting some more
  interesting finds. We have found all the Papilio's here.
  There is an abundance of butterfly species - but just so little
  time!!!
