This morning I took this photo of a Heliconius erato petiverana feeding on hotlips in the morning sun, near the insectaries in Gamboa. The colours really shine very bright in the morning light.
Sorry, but I should call this Heliconius erato demophoon, although even that name may now be invalid – see the recent paper by Hill et al (doi:10.1111/mec.12290)
