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.

Site Photos and Videos

I am not much of a photographer -- these images and videos were all taken with an iPhone 5 in the course of camping and hiking excursions in the rainforests and pastures of Isla Colon. They're included here to give you an idea of the working environment on the island. Feel free to use any of these images, but please tag them or include the following link:
