This is a lifer photo of the top of a Goatweed Leafwing. I have zillions of side (ventral view) photos, but had never been lucky enough to get a dorsal view photo. Now I need the deep, rich, red velvety top of a male...next time. I do like the markings on the female. The male is much darker with fewer markings.

Not the most common butterfly, restricted mainly to Southern Florida in the pinelands. It is bright orange inside but rarely do you see that unless it is flying.

Quite possibly a first Weld County record of this se. butterfly. Bright orange above, when the wings are close, it resembles a brown leaf -- usually. Photographed in poor light, the underwing of this butterfly takes on a lovely, albeit subtle, iridescence .

Consul fabius, common name Tiger Leafwing, is the most common and well known species of the genus Consul of subfamily Charaxinae in the brush-footed butterfly family (Nymphalidae). It is found all over the Neotropics.
The length of the forewings reaches about 30–40 millimetres. The upersides of the wings have a bright orange and black pattern, with two yellow bands across the angular forewings. The hindwings are tailed. This butterfly is part of a mimicry ring, as a matter of fact the cryptic undersides of the wings mimic a dead-leaf.

Every time this plant flowers, it attracts sap-feeding butterflies, such as the Shoemaker (left) and Banded Leafwing (right).
Orion or Stinky Leafwing Butterfuly (Historis odius). I like the common name of "Orion" best. The butterfly does not stink! Only the rotten fruit it likes to visit does. Napo Wildlife Center, Ecuador
We went to the Pocket at Pigeon Mountain yesterday (3-31-14) and I was amazed at the numbers of butterflies we saw. I counted 21 just on the drive up there (it's in NW Georgia near Lookout Mountain). Then we saw quite a few flying at the Pocket, including this lifer for us - a Goatweed leafwing. We're not in its range here at home and it was on my bucket list - but I didn't know if I'd ever see one. Harry spotted it and told me it was as orange as a Gulf frit ... we saw it at a distance and it took me a minute to realize what we were seeing. Underneath they look like a leaf but the upper orange is intense for sure. Sorry for the poor quality. We also saw a couple of rare West Virginia White's - the only place we see this species. Here's what we saw:
Goatweed leafwing - one, lifer & county record
W. Virginia White's - 2 (foty)
Spicebush swallowtails - 3 (foty)
Tiger swallowtails - several
Juvenal's duskywings - dozens (foty)
Orange sulphur - 1
Pearl crescent - 1 (foty)
Silver-spotted skipper - 1 (foty)
Eastern-tailed blues - several (foty)
In past years we've seen Falcate orangetips, Zebra & Giant swallowtails - but none flying yet.

I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?”

The ‘Stinky Leafwing’ or Orion Cecropian (Historis odius). At rest, this large solitary butterfly’s wings provide excellent camouflage in the trees, but a flash of orange may be seen when it opens, warning would be predators that it may be poisonous. The nickname ‘Stinky’ refers to the putrid or rotting fruit on which it feeds. Kilgwyn, Trinidad & Tobago, W.I.
