A Puerto Rican Harlequin in Puerto Rico (4/13/2009). This is one of the five endemic butterfly species in Puerto Rico. The other four are Puerto Rican Yellow (Eurema portoricensis), Puerto Rican Leafwing (Anaea borinquenalis), Puerto Rican Calisto (Calisto nubila), and Puerto Rican Skipper (Choranthus borincona). Of these, I found the Puerto Rican Calisto, a reddish satyr-like butterfly, to be common at many high elevation locations.
