It is not just a hint, Argybee. Depending on the sun, they shine like a brand new coin.

There are severa of this species around. Most call them G. begga/beggina/vox without any specification. I think yours is according to my link more Begga than Beggina. http://www.faunaparaguay.com/pyrginae.html http://butterfliesofamerica.com/t/Gorgythion_a.htm Geographical ranges are not really helpful... Begga is found in Brazil and should be found in your area: http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/bio/life/insecta/lepidoptera/ditrysia/hesperioidea/hesperiidae/pyrginae/gorgythion/index.html
