Many Names - _TNY_0574

Here is a tropical butterfly with several names. Some call it the Grecian shoemaker Catonephele numilia) (I have no idea why) while others refer to it as the stoplight Catone (which makes more sense) and for others the blue markings on the tail side of the hind wings are enough to call it the blue-frosted banner or even the blue-spotted firewing.

 

This is also a species where it is incredibly easy to tell which gender this is as while the male looks like this - the female sports a completely different look like here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52390646374/
