I have always regarded Nymphalidae as my favorite group of Lepidoptera, for many reasons. Amongst which are the forest dwelling species such as Apaturinae, and Limenitis. Here I have pictured another sub group of Limenitis, namely Moduza. White bands on gunmetal and chocolate brown backgrounds, and intricate marbled patterns truly make these butterflies a prize for any collection. Tom

I like this genus and I have most of the species. Others you should try to get are jumaloni and lyncindes
I'm missing aemonia which is a nice one

You are right, I should have included the two you mentioned. It is interesting how closely M. jumaloni resembles the Parthenos group. Tom Attachments:

Nice specimens Tom. I kind like these as well. My favorite one is M. nuydai. That zig-zag edging is just plain 'sweet'. Attachments:
