Hamadryas februa
This butterfly was about 3" or more wide. I only had time to get one photo before it took off. It was sitting on a Guanacaste Tree and wouldn't let me get closer than 10 feet before flying off each time.
Tropical dry forest in NW Costa Rica one month into the six month dry season.
Thanks for the hint Sarah. The link is spectacular! Thanks for the species bayucca.
