A curious-looking butterfly Paulo, plain, yet attractive at the same time. The angled compositionis good.

Olá, Paulo. Talvez, e apenas talvez, ainda no Photoshop, eu tentaria acrescentar um pouquinho mais de nitidez. Mas isso é só uma opinião.

Gosto muito das cores e do contraste. Excelente composição e enquadramento.

Você tem feito um excelente trabalho com a 18-55.

Hello Paulo,
looking at your freshly captured insects from Central Brazil is always a pleasure and an adventure to me. You take me directly into the splendour of the tropics. Good picture, good details. Providing the approximate size (wingspan) in your notes would help in determining the species.

But there are enough details on your picture to try an approach. For sure it is a large skipper (family: Hesperiidae). And the species, I think, is called:

Achlyodes thraso,
the Southern Sickle-winged Skipper,

distríbuted from Mexico to Argentina,
wingspan approx. 40-50mm.

All the members of the Hesperiidae family are active at day time, so they usually are described together with other "butterflies". But in fact they are more closely related to moths.

Thank you for that lovely puzzle.

Best regards. Adeus.
Peter
