This is a Costa Rican longwing butterfly whose identify has not been confirmed by us but closely resembles a Doris longwing. Our supplier tells us he is getting butterflies from different locations than in the past and is seeing quite a bit of variation in patterns. This is one such variation. The blossoms are Verbena as seen in some of the previous butterfly images.
