Un macho que acaba de eclosionar en mi jardín. Su coloración y marcas son muy extrañas. Las alas de abajo no funcionan y no puede volar.

Polites puxilliusObserver
juancarlosgarciamorales1Description
Algunas Mariposas son muy difíciles no solo de identificar, sino de observar en campo ; ciertos hespéridos o saltarines , se confunden con el entorno en especial si se trata de pastos o hierbas secas ; además , su vuelo es errático y en el aire parecen , literalmente, moscas o abejas ...
En el Parque Sierra Morelos he podido documentar con las cámaras, un par de especies poco observadas hasta hoy : Oarisma era y este simpático Polites , cuya ID me fue proporcionada por @aleturkmen , a quien agradezco mucho . Ahora con tomas dorsales y ventrales, parece confirmada.
