No worries!

Thanks for the ID Alice!

Thanks Cyndee

Very cool!

Thanks Livan! They do look really similar. Is it possible to distinguish them by range?

This seems to be a species of Heliconius (Longwing Butterfly) The red and White markings on the dark wings seem like H. melpomene (Postman Butterfly) but there is also H. erato. You can see here there can be lots of confusion telling these apart

Me too Gilma! I rarely get close enough for this detail so it's always a treat when I do!

Lovely Butterfly and great photography. Love anything/everything close-up!?
