I’ve tried looking it up but have so far failed to identify it. Great camouflage technique of resembling a dead leaf when the wings are closed. Take a closer look at the second photo. Do you see that its tongue is almost the same color as the smaller spots on its wings?
That’s interesting.

Awesome captures! 🙂 I’m no good at butterflies, but I do enjoy the wonderful creatures. Amazing, how the first one resembles a leaf. Have a great weekend! x
Thank you, Dina. Nature does amazing things with its creatures. Enjoy your weekend too 🙂
Wish i could help, but the Monarch is about the only one I know by name.
Well that’s one you can identify 🙂
I’m no help either. Nice job getting the shots though. Usually, I get everything perfect and then away they go. Architractural shots don’t have that problem. Cheers!
Just call me the butterfly whisperer 😉
Okay Butterfly Whisperer. 😉

The first one is very interesting. Sure does look like a dead leaf.
And they are both the same butterfly. Nature is amazing.
