Sorry, Muhammad - I don't know anyone who's likely to take on that job! There are a couple of books you might find useful - J.G.Williams - A Field Guide to the Butterflies of Africa; J.Kielland 1990. Butterflies of Tanzania; Steve Woodhall 2005 - Field guide to butterflies of South Africa. Also you could try joining this group - http://www.flickr...09194@N22/ It looks like they have some good people on there. Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |
