Melinaea lilis imitata.
Bosque Lluvioso
Thanks for the suggestions.. I know with insect i could be very hard, In Costa Rica we may have more than 12 000 ssp of Lepidoptera. So far I will follow the suggestions that mentions " Heliconius never do have red behind the head!"
Gracias a ambas sugerencias
Bayucca, in spanish they call it Isabela, You know something about that particular common name.
Heliconius never do have red behind the head! And the spots are in Heliconius usually AT the margin, like in Heliconius ismenius telchinia, which is also the mimic of Melinaea lilis imitata.
