Unfortunately I was unable to get a photo of the upperside of the wings (dorsal) of this cynosura eighty-eight (Callicore cynosura), but the ventral (underside) is good enough for now.
When observing a butterfly “hotspot” like this location, there are so many individuals I assume is the same species, and it’s hard to keep track of where each individual is moving unless I spend considerably more time at such a location. Rule of thumb is to take an inordinately amount of photos even of those you think are shot already.
This particular location is the “shipyard” of Cristalino Jungle Lodge (where the boats are taken on land), which was crowded with many different species. Luckily there were very few guest at the time I was at this hotspot, so the butterflies were more or less only.
