These are butterflies in the family Hesperiidae that I have recorded on Isla Colon. Each specimen includes collecting data and observations I have made over years of visits to the island.

Field notes from Isla Colon:

 

This individual came to a mercury vapor lamp set up in a small clearing surrounded by rainforest, a site I have only begun to investigate. The species is widespread in the American tropics but I have only seen it once on Isla Colon.
