Opsiphanes sp.
Eating banana in my fingers.
I found this butterfly resting on the trunk of a Ficus tree.
The wings are black with yellow spots only on the lower wings, and three small white dots in the upper extremities of the wings. I wanted to take pictures with open wings, to help identify, but I do not know how to force them to keep the wings open.
