Anartia amathea (Scarlet Peacock)
Anartia amathea is a common and very beautiful species which is found on both sides of the Andes, from Colombia to northern Chile. It's ubiquitous nature and contiguous populations result in regular exchange of genetic material, so no subspecies have yet evolved, and there is very little variation in markings between individuals.
