Native to the Neotropics (Central and South America), this butterfly is a resident of Butterfly Wonderland in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Genesis 1:24-25 (NLT)
Then God said, “Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind—livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and wild animals.” And that is what happened. God made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able to produce offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.

RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
I wanted to represent the major groups of land animals in this scene which are:
Invertebrates - animals that lack a backbone. Invertebrates account for more than 97% of all species alive today. They include animal groups such as sponges, cnidarians, flatworms, molluscs, arthropods, insects, segmented worms, and echinoderms as well as many other lesser-known groups of animals.
Vertibrates - animals that have a backbone. When classifying these animals they can be divided up into 7 broad groups:
1) Agnatha - jawless fish that do not have scales which are the lampreys and hagfish.
2) Chondrichthyes - rough cartilage vertebrates rather than bone, such as sharks and rays.
3) Osteichtyes - bony fish. This group includes almost all fish. Skeletons are made of mostly bone. Includes: Sunfish, Catfish, Minnows, Perch, Goldfish, and most others, like tuna, bass, and salmon.
4) Amphibia - These animals have smooth skin, and most spend at least part of their life in water. Amphibians are cold-blooded. They usually have three life stages: egg, larva, adult. Includes: Frogs, Toads, Salamanders, and Newts.
5) Reptilia - These animals have dry, scaly skin that does not need to be kept wet. They are cold-blooded. Most reptiles lay soft-shelled eggs, but some bear live young. Includes: Lizards, Snakes, Turtles, and Crocodiles.
6) Aves - Birds are warm-blooded. They have hollow bones and feathers. Most can fly at least short distances. Birds are born from hard-shelled eggs. Includes: Raptors, Gulls, Songbirds, and Fowl.
7) Mammalia - These animals usually have hair/fur. They give birth to live young and feed their young with milk. Mammals are warm-blooded. Includes: Rodents, Hoofed animals, Marsupials, Bats, Rabbits, Weasels, Raccoons, Bears, Dogs, and Cats.
I have drawn representatives of groups 4, 5 & 7 (Amphibians, Reptiles & Mammals) in this scene.

01 Leafwing, Noble (Fountainea nobilis)

Goatweed Leafwing (Anaea andria) - LIFER
SO excited to have found some Goatweed Leafwing caterpillars on my recent "walk-abouts"...
Late instar caterpillars such as this one; roll a leaf lengthwise, making a loose tube-like shelter where they rest and hide when not eating.
Orion Cecropian butterfly, aka Stinky Leafwing
the Orion Cecropian, scientific name is Historis Odius, dark brown underside provides excellent camouflage in the trees, but a bright flash of orange may be seen when it opens. The orange bands protect the butterfly by warning would-be predators that it may be poisonous, as orange coloration is often an indicator of toxicity in butterflies.

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.
Great camouflage and very uncommon. It mimics a dead leaf on a plant to hide from predators. Its range is from Central, Latin, and the northern part of South America (Mexico to the Amazon basin).
There are a number of collective nouns for butterflies, such as a kaleidoscope, flutter, flight, swarm and rabble of butterflies. Present in this photo, feeding on bananas, are: Common Mime [left, black with white spots], Question Mark [l. &r. ends, brown, ragged wing edges], Blue Morphos [two largest, wings edgewise], Malachite [green & black], Grecian Shoemaker [black w/ orange spots], Leafwing [brown, back r.] and Mosaic [white & black]. I claim no expertise in butterflies, identification is based on the University of Florida Natural History Museum website www.flmnh.ufl.edu/exhibits/always-on-display/butterfly-ra... ,the best identification guide I found so far. This photo and some subsequent ones were taken at the rainforest butterfly house at the University of Florida. The Museum serves as a major center for butterfly research. It is posited that butterflies are significant as a precursor group, responding to environmental changes prior to responses from other types of critters.

Sleepy Orange Sulphur landing among other Sulphurs
and a Leafwing... these most likely are are all males as
they are the ones that do "mud-puddling".
Tiger Leafwing (Consul fabius). Dorsal view. Compare to ventral view in adjacent photo. This butterfly landed on a friend's camera, it was not placed there for effect. Taken at the Butterfly Rainforest, Florida Museum of Natural History.

Carnival Nationz leaves the feathers for the ankles! Amazing costume launch on Saturday night / Sunday morning. One designer, following the section's nature theme, replaced the standard feathered angel wings with stylized plant leaves (or maybe petals?)! Nice idea, hope the concept blossoms! Toronto.

Aka Odious Leafwing. The name is a reference to the fact that they enjoys feeding on rotten fruit.

I put up my butterfly feeder to keep bees away from the hummingbird feeders. Not sure why I didn’t do it sooner. Some unusual butterflies showed up.
Click the image to see this up close. Amazing!
This Anaea erypyle's orange strawlike proboscis is inserted in the banana. I love the red orange antenna clubs and orange patches on the underwings. Memphis (now called Anaea) eurypyle or Pointed Leafwing; one of the Neotropical leaf-wing butterflies.

Interesting... Eurypyle was a queen of the Amazons who was reported to have led an expedition against Ninun and Bablyon around 1760 BC.

In this photo you can see two Kallima paralekta, one shows its beautiful upper surface (the individual in the front), while the other shows its distinctive 'dead leaf'' appearance (the individual at the back). In between them is a citrus swallowtail.
Location: Vlindorado, Netherlands.
This butterfly looks very much like a dry leaf when it is resting. The dorsal wings are colored brown and orange (see below).
Esta mariposa se camufla de hoja seca. Sus alas dorsales son de color pardo y anaranjado (ver debajo).
PD: de acuerdo con Cristobal Rios, la clasificación completa es:
