Diaethria neglecta
They are very active butterflies, easily disturbed, and rarely settle for more than a few seconds at a time in one spot, but they will return repeatedly to the same patch of ground. - 'learnaboutbutterflies.com'

I spotted this near Salto del Golondrino near Mocoa. Like the description says, they don't stay put for long, I was lucky to get this close and get a clear shot.

Thanks Seema, Jill and Tic.
beautiful wing butterfly, great shot
Beautiful
had heard of 88 butterfly...now its 89 :)
Thanks NewYorker and L E. I've put in my notes where I found him. L E, it does seem like 98, but I'm going with the 89 ID from learnaboutbutterflies.com.
Love the pic, doesn't it seem like it would be a 98 butterfly though? LOL
What a beauty! Where did you find them? Congrats!
