This Many-banded Daggerwing, Marpesia chiron (linked to my gallery) is one of only 4 daggerwing butterflies I’ve seen in Costa Rica and three were here in Atenas, though this is the first one seen in my garden. 🙂 I saw another Many-banded species at Chachagua Rainforest Lodge. I’ll link to the other daggerwing galleries at the bottom of this post. Here’s one of the four photos I got of this species in my garden.
