Similar Species, Pt. 2 - _TNY_3043

Butterfly species really are quite fond of imitating each other.

 

Here I saw a bright orange and somewhat smaller butterfly with elongated wings so I immediately thought about the Julia longwing (Dryas iulia) which I had shot several times before

 

This however, isn't that species. Instead it is a Juno silverspot (Dione juno), also known as the juno longwing or juno heliconian.

 

The silverspot part of the name makes sense though - it's just that the silver spots are on the underside of the wings.
