Nymphalidae
order
Lepidoptera
class Insecta
habitat Forest clearings and edges, thorn scrub, brushy fields, roadsidesnotes This butterfly was fairly active, considering this was a mostly cloudy day, ambient air temperature approximately 62 degrees. The snout loves to hide by hanging upside down under a twig, where its supreme camouflage makes it nearly invisible. The antennae, combined with the elongated labial palps that give this butterfly its name give the uncanny illusion of a dead leaf complete with stem.camera Kodak DC4800 Digital
