About this Species
Perisama xanthica is a beautiful and relatively rare butterfly found in the high-altitude cloud forests of the Peruvian Andes. While its dorsal side is a deep, velvety black, its real treasure lies on the ventral side, featuring intricate red, black, and blue patterns that serve as a brilliant identification key in the wild.
