    I could not find the species here, but I believe it is a Ptronymia. Can someone help? Shot at York Wild Animal Kingdom in the Butterfly Sanctuary. Posted 10 years ago

      Pteronymia species are clearwing butterflies and although some of them look similar, these 2 don't look much like clearwings to me... it is confusing though. I think they are more likely Heliconius hecale, the tips of the antennae look whitish, but the spots are not very clear to compare them.
