During two tours over 3 weeks in Nov and dec 2010 we logged 32 species of butterflies and during that time I filmed several of them.
Shown below is a series of photographs and a 9 minute film of a few of them.

African Caper White
There was also a massive migration of Caper Whites, African Caper whites and African Emigrants. These three species were seen in their tens-of-thousands everyday. During the evening you could stand on the beach and watch an unbeleiveable number of Caper Whites flying north over the sea, it was spectacular.
