Phalanta eurytis

Phalanta eurytis, the forest leopard, forest leopard fritillary, or African leopard fritillary, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. It is found in tropical Africa, Ethiopia, and Sudan.

The wingspan is 40–45 mm for males and 43–48 mm for females. Adults are on wing year round with a peak from January to June. It is similar to Phalanta phalantha in appearance but the marginal line of the forewing is unbroken. The male is a deeper orange color and the female is a dull pale orange.

The larvae feed on Dovyalis rhamnoides, Dovyalis caffra, Populus, Trimeria, Maytenus, Salix, Homalium, Ixora, and Theobroma cacao.
