Parides iphidamas
Pink Cattleheart Butterfly, looks similar to other of the Cattleheart family of Swallowtail butterflies but has six pink spots on its rear wings and the outline dots are white. I almost never see them with wings outspread, but the underside is easily identified.
This butterfly was perched beside a dirt road on understory foliage in the Belizean rain forest of the Maya Mt. foothills near my house.
The reference has a photo of a caterpillar.
