Field Notes

Notes:

Found during a night walk in the forest on a plant near the trail. I've seen this species with the blue hind wings in other tropical locations, but haven't figured out the name.

Bayucca, itn looks like the right ID. I even looked at the web page you linked in the ID section and wasn't sure, but I think the flash and angle make the HW blue stand out more than normal.

But Tom, you should always verify my IDs! You are even quickier with the entries as I am with my IDs ;-))...
