Tailed Cecropian Butterfly

Historis acheronta

Description:

I live in a butterfly corridor and I am trying to get them to stop at my table with sweet sugar water, fruit and even dung...And finally... they are stopping!! Some are as large as birds, white , yellow, blue...This one is medium size, could not get the other side of the butterfly, some yellow and black?
