This is my second sighting in my garden plus the one I saw at Maquenque Lodge. A gorgeous butterfly as seen in my gallery: Four-spotted Sailor (linked). It is found in the tropical areas of Central and South America. Some call it the “Mexican Sailor,” probably because they first saw it in southern Mexico.

A new species for me! Or my first time to see and photograph, thus these 2 photos are the only ones today in my Gallery Four-spotted Sailor, but who knows, I might see another one tomorrow! 🙂 And a fun fact about this one is that I photographed him through my kitchen sink window, where I spotted him while washing dishes! 🙂 There are several kinds of “Sailor” butterflies and I’ve seen only one other, the Pale Sailor, which I’ve seen 2 different years in my garden plus nearby on 8th Avenue near Hotel Colinas del Sol, so a lot more photos!
