Great photo Sergio! I saw one of these cats in Ecuador.

Very nice, Bayucca, thank you. It makes sense, because this butterfly is quite common around here.

Definitely Nymphalidae and Biblidinae. And I am quite onfident that this might be Biblis hyperia, this time an easier one than this one... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16628141
