American Snout Butterfly - Hodges#4411 - Libytheana carinenta - Libytheana carinenta
Wildwood Park; Radford, Virginia, USA
July 22, 2020
Found this at a wetland area of our city nature park. The only other time I had seen one was in 2013!!! I was very happy to get the open-wing shot even if it is not quite a sharp as I would like.
