Clearwing Butterfly

Oleria sp

Description:

Very delicate-looking butterflies of about 2.5cm body length (aprox. 5-6cm wingspan). Body is white, with the upperside of the abdomen being brown; wings are translucent with dark venation and an orange outline, with a white band across the tips of the forewings. The specimen on the right has tow small white spots on the tip of the hindwings, which the other one lacks. Therefore, these might be different species... Clarification would be much appreciated.

Habitat:

Found on the edge of a shaded footpath in San Pedro La Laguna, on the shore of Lake Atitlán.
