Siproeta stelenes (malachite)
It is a tropical butterfly of about 10 cm in length from wing to wing. The name malachite comes from the intensity of the green color of its wings and which is reminiscent of the color of this mineral.
It is usually confused with Philaethria dido, another species of butterfly of the Heliconinae family that has an almost identical coloring and design of its wings.
Malachite feeds mainly on decomposing fruits, flower nectar, bat dung, and sometimes dead animals. It is a butterfly with a wide distribution and can be seen from Texas to southern Brazil.

Las mariposas creo que son son las especies más fotografiadas en el mundo; yo no soy fotógrafo, pero conservo un buen número de fotos de mariposas porque su belleza atrapa y luego uno quiere atraparlas con la cámara. Muy hermosas tus fotos.
Gracias por el comentario. Me parecen igual de fascinante que la fotografía de aves, la diversidad de colores y formas es sorprendente.
