Tithorea harmonia is a common butterfly, but not in Sangay NP.


we only saw a few specimens at the Northern and Southern ends of the Eastern limit of the NP, and in september 2016, many Tithorea harmonia were flying above Méndez.


what is striking is that we never saw a single specimen between Puyo and Méndez ? neither near Palora, nor near Huamboya, Macas, Sucúa, all places that we visited hundreds of times.
