Compton Tortoiseshell (LEP125) Nymphalis
vau-album The
name Atortoishell@
comes from the blending of orange, tawny and black above. There is one white spot on each wing, near
the upper, outer edge. The Compton
lives in cooler woodlands, where it is camouflaged against tree trunks. Predators are startled when it flies
because of its bright colors. |
