IDs wanted on Rainforest butterflies

[Nigel Venters]

Neil,
I did wonder if it was Ecuador when I saw some of the species...I was there
last December advising on production methods at the Butterfly Farm at Sacha
Lodge on the Napo river...did you get into the Amazon basin? Wonderful
experience to see such species diversity.
