Costa Rican Papilio?

Post by Part timer »

Can anyone help me out with this one, taken in the Carara National Park in Costa Rica in March.

No doubt it's a common species - looks like a papilio to me, but my knowledge of American species is pretty scant.

Thanks, Rupert

Thank you both, seems pretty clear from pictures on the Web.

Now I have your attention, I did post a few a few pictures of some erebia species from the Pyrenees back in August, but got no responses.

I suspect you may have had a look and not been able to tell due to the appalling quality photographs, or it may have been they were just missed, but if you have a spare 5 minutes I'd appreciate any response (even if it is "impossible even to give an opinion").

Thank, Rupert
