Glorious Purplewing - Eunica sophonisba
This beauty is a South American butterfly scientifically named Eunica sophonisba (Nymphalidae), commonly referred to as Glorious Purplewing due to the intense blue-purple iridescence on the uppersides of the males (females lack the iridescence). This species occurs in Venezuela, Surinam, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil and Bolivia.
