Costa Rica's National Butterfly?

Mon Mar 8 13:20:52 EST 1999

I have run in this list into the notion that Anartia fatima is Costa Rica's national Butterfly.  Could someone point me to the source of this information?  From the 22 years that I have to live in this country and the 15 of being an entomologist, is the first time that I hear such a thing.
