Spread-winged skipper
Spialia mafa is a species of butterfly in the spread-winged skipper subfamily that is found in south-western Africa. These skippers bask with their wings held wide open, but close the wings when at rest. The subfamily consists of seven tribes, a number which has increased in the past several decades as more tribes were recognized.Photo: Muhammad Mahdi Karim
