You 're right ,pamsai - Nymphidium azanoides is most similar to your photo http://butterfliesofamerica.com/t/Nymphidium_azanoides_a.htm http://butterfliesofamerica.com/imagehtmls/Riodinidae/Nymphidium_azanoides_occidentalis_M_HOLOTYPE_4312_i.htm http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/sci/bio/life/insecta/lepidoptera/ditrysia/papilionoidea/riodinidae/nymphidium/

Thanks for the lead Irina. Seems only 3 species are seen in Costa Rica, N. lenocinium, N. haematostictum and N.azanoides occidentalis. It's not the first one as they are no red spots. N.haematostictum doesn't seem to have brown all around the red. So it could be N.azanoides occidentalis. Can anyone help me with this ID?
