Snout Butterfly,Libytheana bachmanii <LEP141>
The Snout also feeds on hackberries.
It is outstanding by having a long “snout” that is formed by its palpi
sticking straight out in front of its face.
It also goes through great migrations. The upper side is dark brown with creamy spots toward the
clipped wingtip and large tawny patches on each wing. Beneath, the hindwing and forewing tip are
mottled with mauve and cocoa. The
forewing base is orange. The drawing
shows it feeding on nectar of Florida dogwood. |
