Actually New - _TNY_6766

At the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna, Sweden, there is always a certain variation in what species they have flying in a particular week.

 

But some species are always there - like the Peleides and Achilles blue morphos and the pale owl butterfly (Caligo memnon). Shooting this one, I thought it was just another one of the latter - but looking closer now, the pattern doesn't really match that species.

 

Instead I believe this to be another in the same genus - Caligo arisbe (no English name) - one that I would say that I haven't photographed before - but then again, I might have and just not realised it
