Field Notes

Notes:

I'm not sure I'll ever be able to sort out these cattlehearts. It was the first day I arrived and the garden was full of these butterflies, and I just took the camera and shot at random! No discipline!! Bad Girl!
There were 2 types. One with a green spot which was slightly larger than one that had a white spot and on which the red seemed more prominent. But I can't match up the closed wing shots any more.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sometimes I am a bad boy as well... I actually call 4 different Heliconians/Clearwing species just Hecale (OK, that was a long time ago)... and I am usually also a quick-shooter as well... #1-#3 are the same, #4 might be different, #5 is separate spotting, #6 is a separate spotting and looks like Parides sesostris zestos.
