Cymothoe reinholdi is a butterfly that belongs to the family Nymphalidae. This butterfly species is native to Africa and is known for its striking and beautiful wing design. The wings of Cymothoe reinholdi often feature vibrant colors and distinctive patterns, making them a fascinating sight.

The species was first described in 1909 by Karl Jordan, an important entomologist of the early 20th century. Cymothoe reinholdi is found in various parts of Africa, including countries such as Nigeria, Cameroon, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Like many butterflies, Cymothoe reinholdi plays an important role in the ecosystem, particularly in the pollination of flowering plants. Their life cycle includes various stages including egg, caterpillar, pupa and finally the adult butterfly. The caterpillars of this species often feed on specific plant species, adapting to local conditions and availability.

Although Cymothoe reinholdi enjoys some notoriety in the scientific community, it is not as widespread or well-known as some other butterfly species. Nevertheless, it contributes to biological diversity and ecological balance in the regions where it occurs.
