American Snout 2
Common across most of the United states except for the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountains states, the American snout (all known as the common snout) is a master of camouflage with its squared-off wings and long "nose" resembling a leaf stem or twig. This member of the brushfoots family of butterflies is usually associated with its larval host plant, hackberry trees. This one was one of many found darting around the trees near a dry creek near the Rio Grand in the extreme southern part of Texas in Hidalgo County.
