Blood Red Glider

Cymothoe Tsangaris is a species of butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. The Guinean woodlands along the coast of West Africa and the Mongolian forests in Central Africa are both home to the butterfly species Cymothoe Tsangaris. Its wings are a stunning "blood-red", earning it the nickname "Blood Red Glider".

This butterfly has back is a vivid blood red color fringed with black lines, as opposed to its lower body, which is covered in a dull shade of gray or brown. Scientists have actually tried to split this into two separate species, based on the different flowers they specialize in as adults, as well as the physical appearance of the females. The species is mostly arboreal, staying towards the forest canopies in the morning and late afternoon, and early evening before descending to lower levels of the forest.
