Andean Beauty - _TNY_6826
This is a butterfly known as Eryphanis zolzivora, but it doesn't have a common English name.
It is related to the giant owl butterflies and found in the Andes in South America and just like thiose it isn't much for showing the dorsal side of the wings. This was the first of its species which I've seen and I was able to see the dorsal side for a spit second and I really wish I could have shot it for you as the deep purple-blue looked gorgeous.
Maybe next time.
