Orange mapewing

Cuantas mariposas bonitas! estoy deseando volver a CR :-)

Nymphalidae, Nymphalini, Hypanartia lethe, Orange Mapwing.

This is a fantastic photo! So clear and crisp. WOW!

You may need a local person to ID this. I can say it is in the Nymphalidae group. It walks on four legs as all nymphalidae butterflies do, holding its first pair of legs forward to form the characteristic pointed snout. They are used for feeding on flowers.

Thank you. It's hard to know when booking a tour in an unfamiliar place what you're going to get

Our itinerary includes Tortuguero, Cano Negro, Poas Volcano and Escalonia Cloud Forest, Arenal Volcano and the rainforest there. I'm pretty sure this will just make me want to come back!

I believe it. We'll be there in just over a week - just a caravan tour, but I'm hugely excited to be going

What beauties you have in your country!
