Duke of burgundy
Duke of burgundy
The male has a wingspan of 1.1–1.2 in, and the female 1.2–1.3 in. The upperside of the wings are marked in a chequered pattern strongly reminiscent of a fritillary butterfly (family Nymphalidae); however, the duke of burgundy may be separated by its wing shape. Hamearis lucina also has a distinctive underwing pattern.

Sylphina Angel
Sylphina Angel
Chorinea sylphina (sylphina angel) is a species of butterfly of the family Riodinidae. It is found in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Adults fly in full sunshine, but occasionally settle beneath the leaves of bushes.
Punch
Punch
The intricate wing patterns and vibrant hues, reminiscent of autumn foliage, distinguish punch as a visually stunning species. It partakes in a diet primarily consisting of the Rhamnaceae plant family's foliage during its larval stage, while adults preferentially nectar on a diverse array of flowering plants. This dietary adaptability through its life stages underscores its ecological role in pollination networks. Equipped with a proboscis adapted for feeding on the nectar, it not only derives nourishment but also contributes to the reproductive success of the flora it visits.
Common Punch
Common Punch
This vibrantly hued common Punch flutters through forests with wings that display a striking contrast of orange and brown, speckled with white, serving as camouflage against the variegated backdrop of foliage and shadow. Caterpillars of this species exhibit remarkable mimicry, resembling bird droppings for defense, while adults prefer to feast on flower nectar, with a particular fondness for those blossoming on forest edges.
Lesser Punch
Lesser Punch
This delicate creature flits through sun-dappled forest undergrowth, primarily in Southeast Asia. Sporting a complex and vivid wing pattern, lesser Punch engages in a unique mutualistic relationship with certain species of ants during its larval stage. The larvae secrete a sweet substance, drawing the ants near, which in turn offer the developing larvae protection from predators.
Dyson's metalmark
Dyson's metalmark
This fluttering beauty exhibits a dazzling metallic hue with elongated tail filaments streaming from its hind wings; it's a true visual spectacle in motion. As a master of mimicry, it evades predators by adorning eye spots that mimic the gaze of larger creatures. In its larval stage, dyson's metalmark favors specific host plants, a testament to its intricate relationship with its ecosystem. With its remarkable wing patterns, it is not only a pollinator but also an integral part of the biological tapestry where it resides.
