Ruby eye butterfly

Sorry, Bayucca, I coudn't contact them last month, but I'll look for them very soon. I'll let you know then.

Any news from the experts??

Thank you, bayucca. Hey, so this is a few known butterfly? I'll show it to the expert here (a real one), and hear what he has to say about it.

I am pretty sure it is an Alera sp.!
There is a very interesting article from Brazil about some new species:

I only found some antique drawings:

In the second drawing you see the red pants...

I am 1 cm away from the genus!

Well, I spoted another one today that is almost identical... but with very different legs!

That's one of the craziest skipper I met until now. Cool capture!!
