Common Glider - Neptis sappho

Hungary, 1994

Gliders are, as their name suggests, powerful fliers and gliders. However, they also love basking in the sun. The common glider is distinguished from the similar Hungarian glider by the presence of two white bands on the hindwing. In parts of Europe they are a good indicator of the presence of the rare Fenton's wood white, Leptidea morsei.
