A butterfly blends in with the leaves at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens on March 16, 2011. Large Size
The butterfly is a Goatweed Leafwing (Anaea andria). I did see it in flight briefly and the upperside of wings were mostly orange. I had never seen this species in the DFW area before; or perhaps I saw it at a distance and always assumed it was a Comma or Question Mark.

When you go searching for birds and dragonflies with your wife, daughters, and cameras in tow I end up taking photos of butterflies rather than coming home with nothing. It was our first time covering the entire 3.8 mile section of this trail and late afternoon wasn't prime time for the others.....so butterflies it was.

The Autumnleaf Doleschallia bisaltide is a nymphalid butterfly found in India, also found in Australia where known as Leafwing.
Race malabarica, Fruhstorfer.— Males and females underside yellowish brown, paling anteriorly to rich golden yellow on the fore wing, shading anteriorly into dusky brown on the hind wing. Forewing: the apical half black, following a line from vein 12 opposite the Discocellulars, passing through apex of cell, obliquely across middle of interspace 3 and curving down to tornus ; a black spot near apex of cell coalescing with the inner margin of 1he black colour; a short, very oblique, broad golden-yellow band, broader in the female than in the male, from middle of costal margin to interspace 5; a spot beyond in line with it in interspace 4; two, sometimes three, minute, preapical white specks; the cilia fulvous, touched with white, anteriorly. Hind wing uniform ; the costal margin broadly as noted above, a subterminal narrow band and narrower terminal line posteriorly, dusky black; a postdiscal black spot in interspaces 2 and 5 respectively; the cilia fulvous. Underside very variable, closely resembling a dry leaf. No two specimens are ever alike. The ground-colour varies from reddish to dark greenish brown with irrorations of greyish and black scales; apex of the fore and the terminal margin posteriorly of the hind wing more or less lilacine; fore and hind wings crossed by a dark narrow discal fascia, generally bordered on the inner side by a greyish line; this fascia bent inwards at right angles above vein 6 of the forewing and in most specimens, bordered internally by a diffuse pale patch and externally by an oblique whitish mark, beyond which is a subcostal white spot, followed by a transverse sinuous postdiscal series of obscure ocelli crossing both wings, each ocellus centred by a minute dot, white on the fore, black on the hind wing. In the male there are generally, but not invariably, a number of whitish spots on the basal areas of both wings. Antennae blackish brown, ochraceous at apex ; head, thorax and abdomen dark fulvous brown; beneath, the palpi white, the thorax and abdomen pale brown.
Expanse 84–88 mm
Sikkim, S. India, Ceylon, Assam, Myanmar and Tenasserim.
Race andamanensis or andamana, Fruhstorfer (The Andamans), closely resembles the Indian form, but differs in the oblique yellow band on the upperside of the fore wing, which is broader and extends from the middle of the costal margin uninterruptedly to interspace 4, though it is preapically constricted. On the upperside of the hind wing there is an inner as well as an outer conspicuous subterminal narrow-black band. On the underside this race is as variable as the typical form, but the ground-colour in many specimens (presumably wet-season broods) is of a richer, almost metallic green, with the basal snow-white spots defined with black lines ; the ocelli in interspaces 2 and 5 seem also to be more clearly defined than in the Indian form. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen as in malabarica.
This race has been seen in the S. Andaman (Chidiyatapu), Car Nicobar, Central Nicobars and at Great Nicobar. They are attracted to the flowers of Ligustrum glomeratum and larvae have been discovered on Pseuderanthemum album (Acanthaceae).
It's difficult to tell but I think this species is a goatweed leafwing. The worn wings have tattered edges and part the lower rear wings are missing. But the orange color stood out against the green background as it perched on a bare branch.

Photographed at Kit Carson. This is the only leafwing to make it into the US beyond the southernmost states. It occurs from (roughly) south of a line from se. Arizona across New Mexico, east of the Rockies in Colorado and s. Wyoming, sw. South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and West Virgina, Virginia, and North Carolina (BugGuide)
Fountainea nessus (Cindy's Leafwing). Photographed above Afluente, San Martin Department, Peru on 19 October 2015.
I have no recall of seeing a butterfly like this at any other time, so though the photo is again not sharp it is a welcome addition to my sightings and photos.
My wife and I are relatively new to Lepidoptera, both identifying them and attempting to take photos of them. This photo was the first Goatweed Leafwing for either of us.
Die Aufnahme zeigt die Unterseite des Blattschmetterlings Anaea Consul fabius (auch Tiger Leafwing genannt). Dieser farblich interessante Falter gehört zur Familie der Edelfalter (Nymphalidae) und hat seinen Lebensraum in der neotropischen Faunenregion.
Die Länge der Vorderflügel sind bis zu 30-40 Millimeter groß. Die Flügeloberseite hat eine orange Grundfarbe und hat an allen Flügelenden eine schwarze Färbung. Die Vorderflügel haben außerdem noch ein schmales, schwarzes querlaufendes Band.
Die Unterseite der Flügel haben helle geometrische gold-schimmernde, weiße und graue Muster.

Question Marks are part of an association of butterflies commonly known as "anglewings," which have sharply angled wings. When folded at rest, the undersides resemble dead leaves or pieces of bark. This group includes anglewings, tortoiseshells, commas, question marks, leafwings, snouts and daggerwings.
