Heraldica Clearwing Butterfly

Ithomia heraldica

Description:

I only see this butterflies around wild purple/lavender flowers, never come to the garden like the other butterflies. I was lucky to see it so close, it was hard to take a picture when so close.

Thank You Ashish Nimkar and bayucca for the identification help. I looked at the pictures and I think the one I took a picture of is a Heraldica because of the white spots on the top of the wings, same as mine, that were absent on the Klug.

Welcome Gylma... This super spotting reminded me Ranger Jonathan's Glasswing butterfly... and its Tribe....

Thank you Ashish Nimkar,the ones with the completly clear wings look almost the same, I just have not been lucky to get any pictures.
