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 species is likely the most common Nymphalid on Isla Colon, and perhaps throughout the Neotropics. It is present at lantana and other flowers throughout the year.
