Species of butterfly From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Berberia lambessanus is a species of butterfly in the family Nymphalidae.[1] It is endemic to the North African region, mainly Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. It flies in the vast steppes but has a preference for slopes, and the males are easily seen flying in search of a shy female. Usually, females are fertilised as soon as they hatch. The range of Berberia lambessanus overlaps with that of B. abdelkader
