Prothysana felderi
Spotted again today...This individual, again, has no black markings, just the red and white; adding fuel to the thought that it could be viewed as a type of Tarchon larva separate from the Felderi or perhaps a different gender than illustrated??? Have yet to find on line or my Costa Rica book...

Nice! I just got one of these guys!
Nature never ceases to amaze and delight me!
It's incredible! Is it a caterpillar?!?!
I think this is the thing that is on the picture of COLOR RED mission.
A unique gift by nature.
Its beauty is really unbelievable.
I don't believe that they are the same...the slight variation may mean, among other things: a different gender or a not yet documented Tarchon variety...
You're right. So are they the same?
If you recall, the other one didn't have the black either...
Yes, it looks like Tarchon larva you once spotted, but this one lacks of black marks!
