American Snout (Libytheana carinenta)

An exciting discovery is this American Snout butterfly which Diane photographed in the BYG. She said it was particularly attracted to the Thyme. This species was first found in 2008 at the FWG, and again by several observers in 2010 and now this year, 2011. Last week I reported that I had seen one fly by but could not relocate it. Diane also said she thought she had two earlier in the week. Their presence was confirmed today when she found two!
