Widespread Eighty-eight Butterfly

Diaethria clymena marchalii

Description:

I saw once, one with the number 88 but it did not shine, not iridescent, this one is very iridescent with a blue mark bottom of the lower wings, the spots at the top look green? and it looks as if the number is 89!? Is it the same Butterfly?? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/147...

I think you have a different species. Possibly Diaethra neglecta. There are several and some are called '89's' . I love your image#3 with the verso reflection.
