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:

 

Xylophanes tersa has an enormous range, which includes Panama. I have only found it once on Isla Colon, but I would not be surprised if it surfaced again in the future.
