Yes it would help, but I am in my office, so I need more time to get closer than Heliconius melpomene or Heliconius erato. But these are mimicking each other, so final determination is very tricky. This is my Heliconius melpomene from the same place ;-) https://www.flickr.com/photos/dominikhofer/4612903486/
