I got this specimen from the bug dealer in Batu Caves. I dug it up from the bottom of one of the specimen storage boxes. I don't know how long it was down there, but I would say quite a long time. I have seen many clearwings from Peru, but never one quite like this. The metallic blue spots really caught my attention.

Does anybody know this species?

This is such a useful website, Dave
