In Costa Rica it is common to see groups of butterflies of the ithomiinae family gather on the leaves to feed on organic matter. On other occasions the males come together to form LEKS, or groups that absorb alkaloids that use as perfume to attract the females.

Thank you in advance for your comments...
Magnificent photograph with great accompanying facts too, @photographercr!
Thank you very much!
What a gorgeous picture. Thanks for the info about them too.
Thank you. When I made the photograph I had the doubt of why they met in that way. Ask a colleague expert in butterflies that gave me that wonderful answer.
Nice picture, as always
Muchas gracias
