Clearwinged mimic white, Tatama National Park, Colombia About 90% sure of this species. The white dots match, the yellow patches match, the striped body matches, the only thing I&#039;m in doubt over is the orange patch. It&#039;s small and faded in this one, larger on most other photos.<br />

If this is the correct species, it&#039;s an interesting one as it looks virtually identical to several clearwing species whilst not actually being one.
