Ruddy Daggerwing

Marpesia petreus

Habitat:

Tropical lowland forests and edges; hardwood hammocks. Caterpillar Hosts: Common fig (Ficus carica) and wild banyan tree (F. citrifolia) in the fig family.

Notes:

Caught this one resting under a Sea Grape leaf. Wings on one side a bit worn and tattered. I just love the dry leaf camouflage.
