I agree, you need the butterfly for exact species ID. Both, Evarete and Genoveva are possible. The color of the underside of the antennae tip might be one criteria, but this is not generally accepted.

Yes, they are scented leaves, the people here use them to make tea and some people put some leaves in the Mate. I prefer the scent of Lemon Verbena.

Thank you for the suggestion gatorfellows, in Argentina occur Junonia genoveva hilaris and Junonia evarete. Both are very alike, and the problem is that is necesary a butterfly to identify the species, as I have understood, so I put only the genus.
