Antanartia

Antanartia, commonly called (African) admirals, is a genus in the family Nymphalidae found in southern Africa. They live along forest edges and are strongly attracted to rotting fruit and plant juices.[1] For other admirals see genus, Vanessa. Recently, three species traditionally considered to be members of Antanartia have been moved to Vanessa based on molecular evidence.[2] Antanartia borbonica was not sampled by the study, but was purported to belong in Antanartia based on morphological similarity.

gollark: https://signal.org/ is open source, pretty user-friendly, and IIRC not bound by American law as much through not being there.
gollark: ... still use end to end encryption?
gollark: Well, yes.
gollark: People generally mean "encrypted from client to other client", though.
gollark: End-to-end in the sense of "encrypted from client to server", sure.
