As we were leaving La Selva Tropical Research Station on 15 July 2017, we chanced upon a Great Butterly Moth,
Castniomera atymnius. These moths fly by day, so confusing them with butterflies is easy. Unlike most other moths, this species has clubbed antennae. These moths range from Mexico to Brazil. The larvae develop on Heliconia and the adults often visit banana trees.
