Danaus chrysippus (Family: Nymphalidae; common name: Plain Tiger, African Monarch)
This butterfly is widespread in Asia and Africa. It's wingspan is 7-8 cm; the male is smaller than the female and can be distinguished by a 'pouch' on its hindwing. This pouch, a bulging white spot surrounded by a thick black border, is a cluster of scent scales used to attract females.We found these butterflies in West Peloponnese, Greece.
