@Ashish: That looks really similar! But it was larger than the Cabbage Butterflies that I have seen and the exhibit was only Brazilian butterflies, so maybe something else in the same family?

@Ashish: My apologies! I must have forgotten to upload an image that was pulled back more. I added one just now. I’m afraid it lacks any particularly distinctive markings – solid grey wings with darker “veins”, lighter grey body with yellow markings (or is that just pollen?). I couldn’t get a look at the top of the wings.
