Field Notes

Description:

An orange-bodied and orange-winged butterfly with a black face and black-tipped wings, sporting three orange dots.

Habitat:

This butterfly was wandering on the lower slopes of Volcan Agua in Guatemala, in a small town known as San Miguel Escobar - not a big city, but this sighting was certainly in the middle of civilization. Cool to warm air at a high altitude in a tropical latitude region.

Some Smyrna blomfildia certainly look a lot different and I'd seen them as well. I have to agree with you though, as some of them are a definite match. Thanks for the help.

I like your picture a lot and looked all over the Internet until I found a picture of one butterfly that looks like yours. I'm suggesting and ID so you can look it up and take it from there.
