Another Black and White and Red, Pt. 2 - _TNY_1606
There really seem to be an awful lot of butterfly species which ae predominantly black with white and red accents. This is a female mylotes cattleheart (Parides eurimedes), also known as the Arcas, the pink-checked and the true cattleheart.
I came close enough to this one to capture two neat details: If you zoom in, you can see the individual facets on those black eyes and also, the orage tufts of hair on its body look really cool!
From this angle however, it's impossible to see the white and red markings, but it is those that tell us this is a female. The male have slightly larger light-green markings instead of the white ones.
For a shot of the dorsal side (of anonther specimen), please have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52512274163/
