Diadem or Danaid Eggly (Hypolimnas misippus)

Hypolimnas misippus is widely known as the Danaid Eggfly. The species is notable in biology because some individuals resemble toxic milkweed butterflies, an adaptation that can reduce attacks by predators.
The species occurs across tropical regions and occupies varied open habitats. Its inclusion in a wildlife series draws attention to the diversity and ecological importance of butterflies in Mauritania and neighbouring areas.
