Doxocopa agathina
Green antenna that is such a contrast to the brownish-orange body. I cropped the second photo to make it more easy to see.
Iguazu trail
Photo taken by my brother in law Dr. Arupratan Ray. I have his permission to post this on PN...actually it was taken to be posted on PN at my request. My sister, brother in law and I would love an ID, please.
@ john.maddocks Thank you not just for the ID but for the detailed explanation as well.
Hi, The green proboscis makes this one of the Doxocopa (Emperor) species. Some are difficult to tell apart from just an underside but when I visited Iguazu several years ago Doxocopa agathina was plentiful and I didn't see any of the other Doxocopa's.
