American Snout (Libytheana carinenta)

A very exciting find by Diane. She first saw this species near the Butterfly Meadow and later between the Ash Woods and the Old Field. This is the second time in recent years that American Snout has turned up at the FWG and arouses speculation as to why! Is there a small breeding colony? Are they there more often than we know but are just not easily found? Despite concerted efforts by various butterfly enthusiasts over the last few days, the species has not been re-located. But it could certainly still be there.

What a wonderful find, and an amazing capture of this rare beauty! I'm crossing my fingers that they'll be relocated. V
