Handsome Guy - _TNY_0348
The way to tell the difference between a male and a female Mylotes cattleheart (Parides eurimedes) is to look at the dorsal side of the wings. Both sexes have a reddish-pink marking on the wings, but while the female have a somewhat smaller white marking, the males like this one have a larger one which iw a bit more towards mint-green.
Mister Cattleheart here had landed on the floor at the Haga Ocean butterfly house and wasn't bothered the slightest by me moving the camera closer and closer (with the lens hood removed) until I got as close as I could which would equal 2:1 magnification.
