Thanks again bayucca. It is so true, I often spot butterflies along roads and near small streams, less so on flowers in the forest.

Nymphalidae, Charaxinae, Archaeoprepona demophon. A nice example why most of butterflies are not feeding from flowers, but from sweat, (rotten fruits), carcasses and feces. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dominikhofer/4106656533/in/set-72157622679157731 http://blog.projectnoah.org/post/45755859301/lepidoptera-part-2
