Field Notes

Description:

Blue color with spots of various sizes

Habitat:

Found sleeping under a leaf at night in the jungle.

Notes:

To me, O. cassina, O. tamarindi, and O. invirae all look the same. Don't really know what to look for with butterflies, so am just leaving it at genus for now. If you know which one it is then please let me know!
