About the Blood Red Glider, Cymothoe sangaris, Republic of Central Africa. Deep red with golden brown to black tones on the body side of the wing, and intricate subtle vein patterns. This species is distributed in the Afrotropical zone throughout forests. The adults spend most of their time on the canopy, but also seek out sunlit spots on the forest floor to feed on decaying vegetation. Some believe this species should be split into separate species based on morphological characteristics (mainly in females) and DNA research, with the new species specialized to one food plant. This new species are slightly more orange, and the larva feed exclusively on Rinorea plant species.
