Granny-Bonnet (Disperis fanniniae) Mbona Private Nature Reserve
Seen deep in the indigenous forest at Mbona. After our CREW group was desperate to see one at another site the identification as a Disperis came to mind. Habitat is a forest patch in the grassland; there does not seem to be a category for that.Reference. J.B.S. P278
