I got this butterfly unmounted recently and I wasn't sure what to think of it. It is a tiny yellowish riodinid from central Peru. I'm asking anyone out there who would like to comment on it's market rarity and possibly it's value. I'm trying to get an idea because I would either like to trade it for something else or hold onto it for later. Thanks.

I posted a web pic so you don't have to look it up.

Personally I just grab the larger ones I think I'll be able to spread

I did my research on it and it isn't that rare (market wise). The seller was basically a fraud. He represented the butterfly as being a neon green by altering a photo of it, which it obviously wasn't. Either way ebay refunded my money because they recognized it as fraud and it was taken care of.
