NYMPHALINiE. 
213 
This beautiful insect inhabits the greater part of South Africa, and is 
usually numerous in its favourite haunts, which are waste open ground, marshy 
spots, stubble-fields, &c. It is very active, but frequently settles on the ground 
and on low flowers. When the wings are closed, the grey under side renders 
the butterfly very inconspicuous, especially when settled on certain sandy 
soils, Colonel Bowker observed in Kaffraria that a persistent enemy of Ceh^ejie 
was a small striped lizard, which cautiously stalked and seized the prey, not- 
withstanding its activity and alertness. " The lizards often hunt in pairs, 
driving the game from one to the other," I have found this Junonia on the 
wing from the beginning of December to the end of June. During April I 
have twice seen a worn straggler in Cape Town ; but I do not think that the 
species inhabits the country westward of Swellendam.
