Butterfly

Yes, bayucca is absolutely right. These two butterflies look very similar, but the spots are all important in this identification. I missed that. Thanks to bayucca and apologies to santiagoberlanaga.

This is a tricky one! I first checked Parides photinus, but this one has different markings. Finally I found Heraclides rogeri, which has the correct color of the spots and in addition a slightly brighter, "dusty-like" part of the forewing. In Alopius the spots in the second row are white, not red like in yours: https://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/imagehtmls/PapPie/Parides_alopius_F_nr_junc_SR_Rd_and_Ruta_16_SON_MX_coll_25-VII-97_emgd_3-IX-97_C2_2_i.htm And it is not Parides photinus: https://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/imagehtmls/PapPie/Parides_photinus_F_MEXICO_MORELOS_Sierra_de_Huautla_Bottom_of_Cerro_Frio_1250m_06-VI-2011_Legal_Luc_3_i.htm

This is not Ascalapha odorata. I have sent you an ID Suggestion with the correct Common Name and Scientific Name. I know it is difficult when you are new to Project Noah, but other members with more experience will try to help you when they can. However, I would like to suggest that you exercise a little more care when you are identifying your spottings. In this case, Ascalapha odorata is a moth and it looks nothing like the butterfly, Parides alopius, in your picture. Anyone can make a mistake and that's not a problem, but if people see too many careless ID's, they might not pay attention to your spottings any more. Please accept this advice in the friendly manner in which it is offered.
