Unknown butterfly from Venezuela

Hello,

Here are 2 pictures of the same butterfly photographied last February on the Margarita Island (Venezuela)...

The butterfly is surely from the Hesperidae family but do you have any idea about the genum and maybe the species???

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi Michel,

Can't help you out directly but you might try posting on the forums at insectnet.com. They have a more global audience than we do here. Bugguide.net is just for US but you may ask on the forums for some help and or direction. You can do an I.D. request for non USA insects for 30 days (I think) so check them out, too!

nice pics!!

Thank you lele for your great help!

I asked InsectNet and someone pointed me Pyrgus communis...

I will do some research on this one and let you know if the id is confirmed...

Ciao!

Michel
