OK what the hell? This is one of the dumbest naming things I've ever seen.
This is the Two spotted Prepona (Archaeoprepona demophoon - with two "O"s)
But there's another species, the One-spotted Prepona (Archaeoprepona demophon, with one "O") What?!
I think the other photo on JD is the One-spotted Prepona, but the JD species article has a weird mix of both names. Ferdy, could you create a profile for each species? Posted 8 months ago
