I visited the Butterfly Place again today in Westford, Massachusetts. It's a medium-sized indoor butterfly sanctuary, with many varieties.

This is one of the blooms of this shrub in our garden. Their leafs do look like oak leafs, hence the name.

The butterfly wings are shaped like a leaf when in the closed position. The veins are darkened and resemble the veins of a leaf. The resemblance to a dried leaf is extremely realistic and gives the genus its common name, viz Oakleaf or Dead Leaf. Amazing creature!

枯葉蝶真的是偽裝高手，不但形狀像極了枯葉，連葉脈和蟲蝕孔都有，但是我一拿出果汁，他就忍不住果汁的誘惑，現身我的果汁趴。好喜歡他，那像足球般的複眼。
