by Colin Dunjohn Orange Tiger (Dryadula Phaetusa) -- The bright orange coloration with thick black stripes on the wings make this an easy butterfly to identify. When this butterfly feeds on nectar, it often holds its wings up to reveal the undersides. Although not a rare species, it is by no means abundant. This might be related to the fact that Costa Rica was historically heavily forested.

Four species occur in North and South America and three are found in Europe.[2] Their main host plants are herbs and shrubs of the teasel and honeysuckle families.
