Our only “true red” or leaf wing butterfly.  Callicore pitheas, also known as the “red 88”, is a much smaller butterfly.  When seeking its food plant to lay eggs (or to seek females!), Siderones are often seen in fairly open and low vegetation.  We were only recently able to breed this species in closed cycles, which required considerable modifications of our flight facilities, which in turn has resulted in butterflies that fly very well in closed exhibits, making all these efforts very worth while.
