These butterflies are of the genus heliconius. I’m not sure of the exact species — after all, there are some 20 thousand different species of butterflies and moths in Costa Rica. One of the things that I loved about this recent trip is that I was able to use all my lenses equally — my telephoto zoom, my mid range zoom, my wide angle and my macro lens — which was the choice for this photo.
