Mystery Butterfly #1


Heliconiidae?

This is all I can guess. I have no idea what this is. This was one of the newly released ones.

It's most definitely a heliconiidae, possibly a variant of the tiger-striped longwing. :)

I'll try to find something more definite for you

That's what I was thinking too! Goodness there's so many similar patterned species! >_< I have a Mechanitis too that I want (if possible) down to species. Good Lord I need a book.

That photo is gorgeous! ♥♥
