American Snout also called Common Snout Butterfly!
They almost look like brown leaves when their wings are closed!
I never got a photo with their wings open!
There were about 10 butterflies all flying around and enjoying the nectar from the mistflowers!

Pretty flowers and interesting butterfly. Easy to see how it got its name :) Nice post @violetmed

howdy violetmed! wow those things are amazing because they're the first ones I've seen on your posts that aren't beautiful! lol. I would call them ugly but I don't want to be mean!

HAHA, I wish you could see them with their wings open!

me too, well maybe next spring.

Such an interesting butterfly I do not think I have ever seen one like this

That is a cool butterfly! Never seen it before.

Beautiful the butterfly was hosico with color of already dried leaves. I like to see in that shot how it is feeding on the o
Snow flowers that are beautiful and radiant with that perfect white color. Your pet is adorable, it is a love.

Oh, well done!! I have trouble getting butterflies in general, but, I am told it is because I am not patient enough. :) Bah! Never! LOL

What a pretty pattern she has and I bet it is hard to spot with the brown coloration - especially with the wings closed. Thank you for sharing her and that beautiful bush!

Tip!

Woow, these are beautiful! I think I have not seen this species :)
