Heliconius erato
"Heliconius erato" is one of about 40 Neotropical species of butterfly belonging to the genus "Heliconius". The species is remarkably variable in colour and form throughout northern South America, depending on location, and its various appearances can be difficult to distinguish from various other "Heliconius" butterflies.
Its widespread throughout Central America and South America. I found this specimens in a region of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest.
