Pale Sicklewing

Achlyodes pallida

Description:

I saw this butterfly resting on the top of the lower canopy, from a canopy bridge going through the Cloud Forest of Monteverde, Costa Rica.

Habitat:

Cloud forest in Monteverde, Costa Rica

Notes:

The shape and size of this butterfly reminded me of The Baron (Euthalia aconthea gurda)

Hesperiidae, Achlyodes pallida. This one is quite a large skipper butterfly.
