Castilia ofella
This was a smallish butterfly. The upper wings were black with a broad white stripe and small white spots.

You are welcome. Sarota acantas or (possibly gyas) is one of my favorite butterflies in Costa Rica. I have seen it quite a few times. I hope that you see it someday. It is fairly common, but it is tricky to see due to the size.
thanks SarotaBoy for the ID. Love your icon photo of the butterfly with the hairy legs... Couldn't see it on your site, I wanted to see it bigger...
