. So I'd welcome help from anyone out there with knowledge of West African leps, and/or has a copy of Torben Larsen's definitive 'Butterflies of West Africa'.Here are a several nymphalidae that I've not been able to match;
1. An acraea spp that I cannot find a match for - seen by the side of the main track running through Bobiri forest on the forest side of the guest house - briefly settled and that disappeared
2. Another acraea spp - there was a very popular flowering tree some way down the forest track in Bobiri - quite far back and requiring all the zoom my FZ200 could bring to bear - wouldn't come any closer or open its wings
3. A charaxes spp - flew around guarding its patch in Bobiri, but wouldn't open its wings at rest
4. A forester of some description, of which there were many on the wing, but only an underwing view of this one
5. Another forester - this was just too high. I was unfolding the LCD screen to get a better angle when it departed. Dull brown, but a white wing flash.
6. A pasha or similar with tails ?
7. A pansy or joker of some description seen in Accra Uni botanical gardens - it flew off as the heavens opened
