Catonephele acontius
1 1/2" wingspan butterfly
Rainforest
I have taken pictures of the same species of butterfly ( this and other), and it is deceiving how different they look when they are perfect or a bit beat-up. I will look carefully because your looks a bit beat-up but I think it is the same butterfly...then again I am just a Nature lover that knows little about IDs.
It does look very close Gilma. Yours has more red but that may just be a variation in the species.
Looks like my spotting, but sometimes just a small difference changes the names?!
