Field Notes

Description:

Después de bajar de aquella plataforma mística del árbol, me recosté a disfrutar de la hermosa vista del río. Entonces, una Mariposita se posó a mi lado. Con emoción, tomé la cámara, y me fui acercando a cada foto. Por suerte, disponíamos de mucho tiempo aún en esas sagradas tierras.

Please, check your ID! Vanessa gonerilla is a strict endemic to New Zealand and looks different: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_red_admiral Yours is Vanessa terpsichore, the Chilenian Painted Lady.

Thank you, Bayucca! Oh, this is embarrassing. Sorry about my preconception about this species.
