I agree bayucca. I have been through at least 50 webpages and can't find an exact match to this one. Thanks.

I think it is impossible to get closer as Calephelis sp. without the native specimen.

Thanks and thanks for the lead. It is a Clephelis but there are so many species in this zone I can't figure out which.

So beautiful! Looks like a Metalmark (Calephelis) species, but there are so many I'm not sure what this one might be. Perhaps someone with more detailed knowledge of Costa Rica butterflies will be able to help. Thanks for sharing!
