Hey Sergio! You ARE an expert, an expert per se in Brazilian wildlife and an expert in posting beautiful pictures! Doing some IDs is a completely different story... And do you know why I have IDed this one in 0.3 sec.? Exactly why you have posted the same species before, certainly at different time and places, which means, according to the rules, they are different spottings ;-)... So I had enough opportunities to learn a lot about this amazing and wonderful butterfly. Before I didn't even know how the spell it (moelibeus? melibeus?). I needed some attempts to get the write name on google ;-)... So, go on! MBB! (Master of Brazilian Beauties).

Bayucca, that is the problem of being not an expert... I really try not to post twice the same species unless they are spotted in different places or situations, but with these butterflies I am always insecure if they ARE the same species (remember the Junonia affair).
