Rhodesia Philately: Guinea Fowl Butterfly (Hamanumida daedalus)

The Guinea Fowl Butterfly (Hamanumida daedalus) is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae and only member of the genus Hamanumida.

The dusty-coloured wings with comma-shaped marks peppering the entire surface makes it difficult to see this butterfly on the ground. It habitually settles on bare patches for this reason. When it flies, slowly skimming over the earth, it is the darker shadow keeping pace with the butterfly that draws the eye of the observer.
