Hi Bugman!
Here are 2 photos from a recent trip to Panama – a gorgeous leaf-footed bug (I think it’s Anisocelis flavolineata, according to your site) and a diurnal (?) moth I’d love your help identifying…. thanks, your fan, as always.

Hi Allison,
Thanks for sending you beautiful photos. The Leaf-Footed Bug is Anisocelis flavolineata, which is also called the Flag Footed Bug. The “diurnal moth” is really some species of Skipper.

Hey Guys, In reference to this unidentified butterfly below, I think I’ve got it. I asked Will Cook at Duke U., and below is his response. Red-faced Firetip (Pyrrhopyge zenodoros)
