Butterflies (and Moths) of Costa Rica, 2023

We saw butterflies on both of our excursions, but the best place for seeing them turned out to be feeding on the flowers just outside our room at the Occidental Papagayo! I have not had a lot of luck in confirming the identities of some of these butterflies; feel free to confirm or correct the ones that best match the identities suggested by iNaturalist!
