Caria mantinea
The genus Caria contains some of the most beautiful and elusive species on Earth. Although fairly common they are rarely seen due to their secretive habits, and are virtually impossible to follow in flight. Once seen these glittering jewels of the Amazon are never forgotten.
Green Mantle is confined to primary rainforest at altitudes between about 100-800m. It is usually found in the vicinity of rocky or pebble-strewn streams.

I agree with James! Looking at your pictures, I realized that your collection is the only one I've seen on Noah where every single one has been favorited by someone, and most by many, many people. Congratulations!
