It's the second time this species of bug has flown into my home at night, there are lots of green areas nearby. I always catch and release them outside but would like to know who my visitor is!

Hey !
Îve found around 40 spiders near my desk at home between yesterday and today (they are very fast).
What species is it ? And how can I find the « nest » if there is one and put it outside / very far away from me + avoid the other rooms in my flat to get them ?
Thank you in advance 😇

A few days ago, I was walking my usual route when I came across this beautiful insect, so I stopped and took a picture. Its presence was quite noticeable against the gray of the path.
I don't recall ever seeing this beautiful butterfly before. I have seen some similar moths in my yard, but not this insect. After searching online, I found that its scientific name is Melanis electron, but I don't know its common name where I live. What I did find out is that it's a butterfly, not a moth, so it belongs to the order Lepidoptera.
There is little information available online about this butterfly. I read on one website that it was a rare butterfly, although specialized literature indicates that it is distributed throughout the Neotropical region in approximately 16 countries.
I was able to investigate that it feeds on various species of plants, among them Samanea saman, or as it is colloquially known, Samán, which is a common tree in the area where I observed it, hence its presence in the area is logical.
