DanielMcMurray Unknown spotting
Unknown spotting commented on by DanielMcMurray Provincia de Orellana, Ecuador10 years ago

I'm afraid that I don't have any other pictures of the butterfly. I've been doing some research online and the markings suggest it could be a type of milkweed butterfly, a sub-family of danainae. But butterflies often mimic other poisonous species - so it might not be. I can't find any reference to any known examples of this particular defence mechanism.
