Prola Beauty (Panacea prola) -- This butterfly was incredible. The outer lower wing was red but it always landed like this and I was not able to photograph the undersurface. It seemed to be curious and it would hover and even briefly land on us.
One night while searching for reptiles, we found this morpho asleep on leaves of a tree that was overhanging a stream. This species had half-half upper wings that were about equal parts turquoise and black.
Tropical Buckeye (Junoniae varete) -- Here are three individuals that illustrate variability in pattern and colour
Dirce Beauty (Colobura dirce) -- I love the disruptive pattern on the outer wings. The butterfly landed on a vine and slowly approached the other (I think some sort of Satyrinae). It touched it with its feet and tongue before sipping something on the surface of the plant.
