Heraclides sp.
Not sure which instar stage but this measured about 1.5" long.
Tropical dry forest in NW Costa Rica 6 weeks into the rainy season.
amazing sergio! that is the point maria...it looks like a bird dropping as a defence measure!
It blows one's mind to know that that ugly, bird dropping like thing such a beautiful butterfly will emerge!
very nice spotting; I don't find it very attractive though :{
