Calycopis sp
It moves it's wings to trick predators (and me!) into thinking the head it's on the opposite side. VIDEO!
Check this out, I think it may be Calycopis isobeon,http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/speci.......What do you think? It does look like this one...http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/163...
Thank you!! Forest Dragon and Andrecoppe!
Subfamily Theclinae, Tribe Eumaeini, Genus Calycopis, I believe. Not sure which species are in your area.
Hi, José!This is a Lycaenidae butterfly. This link can be useful for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theclinae

Great video of the "fake" antennal movement!
