Snout Butterfly

Libytheana bachmanii

"The forewing above has white spots near the apex and large orange patches at the base."

Dorsal aspect.

Until the weekend of October 27-29, 2006, Snouts were rare. That weekend, there were probably thousands scattered over 200+ acres.

Photo taken with a Nikon D80, using a Nikon 180mm, f/2.8 manual focus lens.
