Orion Cecropian (Historis odius) or "Stinky Leafwing"
Leafwings look like dead leaves when their wings are closed, a method of protection. The "Stinky" part of the name comes from feeding on rotting fruit. Photographed at La Milpa Research Station in the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area, Orange Walk, Belize.
