Field Notes

Description:

Ithomia is a genus of clearwing (ithomiine) butterflies, named by Hübner in 1816. They are in the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae.

The wings are translucent, with a wingspan of 5.6 to 6.1 cm (2.2 to 2.4 in)

I always found these butterflies in dark places... Deep in the forest, but often near the trails.
