It was so beautiful, when the sun was on it it looked so bright orange and purple, stayed for a long time under a leaf but I could not find any eggs.

Great photos! What a gorgeous butterfly :)
Thank you, Adarsha B S, Marta RubioTexeira, Dilan Chathuranga, RiekoS, dominique.eghlidi, I did not see your comments before today, I live in Costa Rica for 3 years now and this is the first time I run into this beauty.
Very pretty, Gilma! I did not see this one when I was in CR :-)
What a beautiful butterfly! Great capture, Gilma!
