wingspan : 40 mm
we found Urbanus esta at Colonia Azuaya, near Puyo, Pablo Sexto, San Isidro and Méndez.
green Urbanus make for an extremely difficult group ; it wouldn't have been possible to identify these butterflies without the efforts and expertise of Ernst Brockmann and Bernard Hermier, and without genitalia study and DNA barcoding.
there is a lot of variation in the amount of green on the UP of Sangay NP Urbanus esta males.
