Field Notes
Description:
Celaenorrhinus is a genus of skipper butterflies which are commonly termed sprites. An alternate name is "flats", for their habit of holding their wings flat when resting, but this is also used for related genera. They belong to the spread-winged skipper subfamily (Pyrginae), and therein are the type genus of tribe Celaenorrhini.
Habitat:
This species is found in rainforest, including degraded and secondary forest, and can be found in low numbers along logging roads, in glades, and around the edges of clearings.
I saw this one along a dirt road through fairly thick tropical forest.
Notes:
Not sure of the species. Wiki lists 44 different species in this genus.
