Back in June at REGUA in Brazil, there were also a lot of Pieridae butterflies (Whites and Sulphurs) flying. I found these very difficult to identify, but one of the great advantages of the digital age is you can simply photograph everything and ID it later! Brilliant when there isn't a field guide available.

Male Elathea Yellow/Banded Yellow Eurema elathea, REGUA, June 2012.
This species almost always rests with the wings closed. In flight the yellow
upper side to the forewing with the black border on the male is striking! |
