Libythea labdaca

Libythea labdaca, the African snout butterfly, lobed beak or southern beak, is a member of the butterfly subfamily Libytheinae found in western and central Africa, and southern India.

It forms vast migratory swarms (over 1 billion butterflies were estimated in Ghana). The butterflies move south in the spring and north in the autumn.

The larvae feed on Celtis species (including C. kraussiana and C. sayauxii).
