Ithomiola Metalmark

Ithomiola orpheus

Notes:

What I really love in this butterfly is the furry scarf in its chest.

Looks very similar to Napaea beltiana:

But look at the spots at the margin of the forewing. There is in Beltiana one row of white spots more compared to Ithomiola orpheus. I think it is this one.
