Postman Butterfly

[Scott Mcphee]

Thanks for the help guys. I wish I could post the photo, but I do not have a
scanner.

A further question: A Blue Morpho was common around Monteverde. Is there
more than one species that look similar in the area? Does anyone know the
species name of the Morpho in that area?

Also, I appreciate your new website. I have found it useful.

Thank you ,

Scott

tropics!)
