Oho... Sergio was talking about my basement? Naughty boy. When we once meet we have to talk about that part of Marcus Aurelius ;-)...

Yes, I know Marcus Aurelius. He kisses badly.

thanks, thanks, thanks................ I think it's not a good name for a female butterfly. I discovered something about you, you have a basement in your home, and have a lot of fantastic thick books, dusty and old in his basement, with all the names of the world's butterfly. Superbayucca :D

Hesperiidae, Hesperiinae, Vettius sp. and most probably Vettius marcus. http://butterfliesofamerica.com/imagehtmls/Hesperiinae/Vettius_marcus_HONDURAS_The_Lodge_at_Pico_Bonito_La_Ceiba_11-VI-2010_SS_i.htm http://butterfliesofamerica.com/imagehtmls/Hesperiinae/Vettius_marcus_PERU_Picuroyacu_Loreto_09-XII-2008_Westerduijn_i.htm http://butterfliesofamerica.com/vettius_marcus.htm A similar one is Vettius aurelius, but I tend to Marcus. http://butterfliesofamerica.com/imagehtmls/Hesperiinae/Vettius_aurelius_M_COSTA_RICA_Guacimo_480m_11-V-2008_NISHIDA._i.htm Do you know Marcus Aurelius? Funny name coincidence, or probably not really a coincidence but pure intention. Marcus Aurelius was a famous Roman emperor! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Aurelius
