Is this Caligo uranus or atreus? I bought it as uranus but it looks a lot like atreus because of the orange on the hindwing not covering the entire border. I guess some people consider one a subspecies of the other. This one is from Costa Rica. It is slightly larger than the other atreus I have.

C. uranus does not go that far south. I've attached a photo of Uranus for comparison
