Thank you boghaunter, I'll look into the book! Now if there is only one for Danainae and Ithomiinae!

They very well could be! This group of Nymphalids are so difficult to identify!!! They are either Heliconiinae, Danainae, or Ithomiini.

Anyone knowing of a good resource I would be very grateful. Trying to ID these guys through the literature and ButterfliesofAmerica webpage is very frustrating ...

I know this might be a long shot but I have a lot of unidentified Helconiinae and perhaps Danainae from Peru.

I've racked my brain trying to decide what they are... any help will be greatly appreciated!

Attached are the first 4 specimens.

I think I have them identified except for #1. Any more help on it would be great... Which Pedaliodes could it be?

Thanks for the insight!

I'll check those Genera.

Thank you for your insight!

Thanks, they appear to be Melanitis leda variants... Thanks so much!

Thanks for taking a look at these old specimens! It's nice to curate them into the main collection with labels!
Middle and bottom the same???

Once again thank you! You rock!

Thanks, that is also what I was reading!

Thanks for taking a look at these!

Do you consider F. canens and F. arcesilaus the same species?

Thank you! This is of great help! You are awesome livingplanet3!

Trying to get identifications for these Indonesian Nymphalidae.

Thanks in advance!

Neominois

Thanks Chuck! I was bummed that we got rained out. We actually bailed on camping the second night because it was raining so hard. We left for home at about 6 o'clock.

My daughter is an outdoors person so getting her to go with me is easy. She is the one that drags my sorry butt up those mountains ...

Last summer my daughter and I took a trip to Kite Lake, a high altitude location near Alma Colorado in the central part of the state. I had planned on collecting and filming a lot of butterflies, but the rain kept me from my ultimate goal regarding insects. Here is some footage of our experience ...

Thanks for the note!

Sorry for not posting videos, I have more raw footage from this past collecting season that I'm working on, so I'll have another video soon. I also have a video I posted last month that I'll throw up on here. Some leps but not a lot.

As far as habitat goes... it is fairly dry ...

I worked on the butterfly Neominois ridingsii for my graduate work at Colorado State University. In this video I visit Cherokee Park in Larimer County Colorado in search of video and specimens of the late flyer subspecies wyomingo .

My favorite thing to look for in the Erickson Springs/Dark Canyon area is hairstreaks, besides the already mentioned Hypaurotis crysalus, there are also several species of Satyrium in the area.

Wonderful video! Was straining my eyes to see any beetles!


I've seen Stictoleptura canadensis and Pseudogaurotina cressoni in the campground as well as a prionid in the treetops that didn't want to come down.


Erikson Springs is certainly a wonderful place! I remember your comments about ...
