I recently received some Asterope sapphira from Brazil, collected in Santarem in 1981. I just wanted to share with ICF members, the incredible beauty of this butterfly !

I remember well a visit to Worldwide butterflies 25 years ago where I first saw this beautiful butterfly in the flesh, I came away with 4 perfect males, they were treasured by me then and they still are, I have since added 2 females, lovely species.

Certainly, a species to have for the collection if you can find it. Bravo...
