Another Black with White and Red, Pt. 2 - _TNY_1317
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.
It is only the females who have the white markings though - males instead have a more triangular patch with a greenish hue.
