A few from Ghana which elude me (1 Viewer)

I think I've managed to ID most of what we saw but a few, some of them surprisingly so, elude me, all help appreciated.

Widespread Forester for the pretty blue one, Little Pansy for the orange, one of the Amauris for the black and white (edit - thanks to Google, I think Monk, aka Dusky Friar, Amauris tartarea).

Final blue don't know ...looks like a Pierid, but can't imagine they ever come in blue

Cheers Jos,
hadn' expected the Foresters to be so problematic, the West African book does not illustrate hind wing spots on any of them but I suppose that's the poblem with photographing specimens that have been dead for a hundred years.

I'll post some others which I think I've ID'd, no offence will be taken at corrections.

Some of those are definitely correct, I'll take a look tomorrow ...but for most this means checking internet resources, which I presume you have done 👍

My experience of African butterflies is the groups that you least expect to be problematic are frequently the ones that do prove to be problematic 🙂

West African book ... Torben Larsen?

Yes.

Yes, much easier than the book tbh.

It was quite big too, I remember commenting that it looked like a Morpho.
