a common butterfly, but common as it may be we do not know much about this species, several Anthanassa species, but also Telenassa species, being quite similar ; in Ecuador West of the Andes you normally find the nominate ssp, but we found two distinct Anthanassa drusilla populations, shown on two different fact-sheets
- one with a narrow stripe on the HW, living near (and across ?) the Colombian border, from 1500 m down to sea level,
- one with a wide stripe on the HW (this fact-sheet), living farther South (from the Nanegalito-Quinindé area down to Loja Province), at the same altitude,
it could look very simple - narrow stripe in the North and wide stripe in the South - but if you look at the forms that fly in, particularly, Mexico, Panama and Colombia, it does not make sense any longer.
