Pereute sp.
about 3 cm tall with 5 cm of wingspan, though it was a Heliconius because the red stroke, but it isn't, according to my teacher (it laks the white stroke)
was on a fog forest, about 2600 m above sea level
You will be surprised! It is a Pieridae butterfly! It is either Pereute callinice or Pereute callinira. They are not distinguishable without the native specimen.
You are lucky, this is my ID #4000!
