Anaeomorpha splendida

Post by daveuk »

A male specimen of the nominate subspecies from Iquitos in Peru. Shown recto & verso. I was very annoyed with myself setting this fairly rare butterfly & putting pin holes in apex of right forewing. Did that nearly thirty years ago. Hopefully I have improved since...

I've heard of about four females having been taken. The first was less than 20 years ago.
