Butterfly Unknown
Cuiaba River
The Pantanal
Brazil
South America
While on the Cuiaba River at night, I stayed on the floating hotel called the Balsa Hotel Transpantanal. The hotel was anchored along the water’s edge next to the shore, so close you could reach out and touch the plants growing there. My cabin was located towards the side facing the shore, and I saw these butterflies resting on some leaves and thought it would be great to take some pictures. I photographed several of these unknown butterflies, and since I have been back I have been searching for the name of these on the internet to no avail, leaving me with another unknown animal.
Ger Bosma sent me an URL to a website showng this butterfly.
I do have another image closer to the one described. You can find the website information here.

This butterfly had been thru some hard times and a lot of the color had worn off of the wings.
