Eighty-eight Butterfly Photo
Eighty-eight (Diaethria anna) is a butterfly in wet tropical forests from Costa Rica to Mexico. On rare occasions, it can be found as a stray in south Texas. The caterpillars feed on tropical plants in the elm and soapberry families. Adults feed on rotting fruit and dung. Its upperside is dark brown with a metallic bluish-green band on the forewings.
The underside of the forewings are red, which is followed by a wide, black band and then white tips; the underside of the hindwings is white, with lines that approximate a black-outlined "88," giving the species its common name.
Here is a link to the full size butterfly photo.
