Mexican silverspot (Dione moneta poeyii) Basking in the sun right outside the Savegre Mountain Lodge in San Gerardo the Dota. And my field guide (Butterflies, Moths and Other Invertebrates of Costa Rica, Carrlo L. Henderson, 2010) features a picture from the same location and judging the underground, might even be from the same driveway :) Costa Rica,Dione moneta,Fall,Falter,Gebiete,Geotagged,Insekt,Mexican silverspot,Schmetterling,Tiere,butterfly,mariposa
