Clearwing From Peru

[Khalid Fadil]

I got this specimen from the bug dealer in Batu Caves. I dug it up from the bottom of one of the specimen storage boxes. I don't know how long it was down there, but I would say quite a long time. I have seen many clearwings from Peru, but never one quite like this. The metallic blue spots really caught my attention.

Does anybody know this species?

Cithaerias species, possibly esmeralda?

Check it out here, go to Nymphalidae-Satyrinae-Genus Cithaerias.
This is such a useful website,
