A Cloaked Scintillant taken at Muyil, Quintana Roo, Mexico on the 25th February 2013.

A superb Metalmark! there are currently 27 species of Scintillants reported from Mexico, the taxonomy of which are still very confused...

Photo was taken in the grounds of a Maya archealogical site, a small pyramid dating back to about 325 BC... an example of the Peten architectural style..
