the Cream-spotted tigerwing, Tithorea tarricina, from Central and South America. This species is toxic, with distinct markings to let predators know not to eat them. They share similar markings with other species that are also toxic. Their pupae are a striking gold color
You’ll see these butterflies in our exhibit with Golden longwings, which resemble them closely, as well as several other species in the same family sunbathing on foliage together.

I lucked out when we arrived at our Bend/Sunriver Thousand Trails campsite, as my planned visit to Bend's nearby High Desert Museum coincided with the final week of their Butterfly and Hummingbird exhibit. There were tropical butterflies everywhere, lighting on shoulders, fingers and hats, as well as resting on the floor, so we had to be very careful as we walked about. It was marvelous, so I popped in both at the beginning of my visit to the museum and again just before leaving. (13-04-05-2878)
Unlike Tithorea harmonia which has cream colored antennae, the Tithorea tarricina has black antennae.
The Tarricina Longwing, Variable Presonian, or Cream-spotted Tigerwing (Tithorea tarricina) is a species of butterflies belonging to the Nymphalidae family.
Tithorea tarricina has a wingspan reaching about 75–80 millimetres (3.0–3.1 in), with a forewing of about 40 millimetres (1.6 in). The pattern of the wings is quite variable. Usually the dorsal sides of the forewings are black with white spots, while the hindwings are orange with black margins. The underside are similar, with many small white spots along the black margins. The beautiful chrysalides are golden like elegant jewelry.
The Nymphalidae are the largest family of butterflies with about 6,000 species distributed throughout most of the world. These are usually medium-sized to large butterflies. Most species have a reduced pair of forelegs and many hold their colourful wings flat when resting. They are also called brush-footed butterflies or four-footed butterflies, because they are known to stand on only four legs while the other two are curled up; in some species these forelegs have a brush-like set of hairs which gives this species its other common name.
