Submitted by: Charlie Doggett
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: On the grounds of Hotel Villa Caletas, Jaco, Puntarenas, Costa Rica - a very bright orange color.
Status: Unknown
Verified by: Charlie Doggett
Verified date: October 19, 2022
Coordinator notes: It doesn't match the "Bright Scintillant" or the "Curve-winged Metalmark" on BAMONA and thus after further study I now believe it is the Calospila lucianus.
