Caria mantinea lampeto
Lampeto Metalmark. The details on the edge of the wings is astonishing
My second spotting of this species nearly one year after and at the same spot.

Please do!
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I'm sure I'll get a hold of you if I do decide to visit.
Well, if you ever come to Costa Rica, head to Turrialba... they are quite common there, near the rivers or the edges of plantations
You're most welcome! As much traveling as I've done, I still haven't spotted one of these. I'm very familiar with them because I've come across them many times while searching learnaboutbutterflies.com, trying to find matches for my own spottings.
Wow thanks Dan! it means alot comming from someome that travels as much as you do!
Wicked spotting Diaz! These are so cool!
