Socrates skipper
Info via C.de Haseth: Pyrrhopygogpis Socrates (Socrates skipper): this rare and strikingly colored butterfly has been documented at three locations in Curçao namely, the woodlands of the peninsula Caracasbaai, where it was perched in a flowering Bourreria succulenta (watakeli) tree, at Brievengat and at Cerrito. As with most other large skippers, it flies rapidly. (Adolphe O. Debrot: Butterflies and moths of Curaçao, Aruba and Bonaire.)"
