Field Notes

Description:

Variable Cracker, Hamadryas feronia farinulenta, Atenas, Costa Rica

Notes:

Quite an aggressive butterfly. "Hanging around" always with head down and attacking any butterfly that would get to close. The name Cracker comes from the "electrostatic"-like cracking sound from the wings.
