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:

 

On Isla Colon, this beautiful insect is occasionally found along the forest edge. The very similar Nymphalidae species, Siproeta stelenes, is much more commonly encountered.
