Historis odius dious
This leaf-mimic butterfly is about 2½" from top to bottom. It has orange antennae, and its juice straw is brilliant yellow (or maybe it's clear and the juice is yellow?) You can see it in #2. I never did see the upper side of the wings, which are black with a bright orange band running across them.
This flew in to my ripe fruit bowl from the rainforest, in the foothills of the Maya Mts., western Belize.
'Stinky' in its common name apparently refers to the fact that it is attracted to smelly rotten fruit, to which this one certainly was!
