Here's a selection of Lepidoptera images from a trip to Panama, March 17-April 4, 2004. I managed to photograph about 50 species, though some of the more common ones, such as Blue Morpho and Julia, never perched for a photo. Butterflies were never abundant, but we were there at the end of the dry season. We saw lots of great birds and a few mammals, too. All photos were taken using a Nikon CoolPix 995. Please let me know if you can help with some of the identifications!
