Notes: |
|
fairly common on the farm, coming to feed at garden flowers. Sometimes settle on grass, presumably to sun themselves? Very difficult to notice them if the grass is long, as they look just like a half-dried-up yellowish green leaf. Illusion heightened by their dropping the bright white forewing below/behind the yellow-green hindwing, as shown in this photo. With the wings folded the illusion of a fading leaf is seamless. |
