Orange oakleaf (Kallima inachus)

The orange oakleaf is a nymphalid butterfly found in Tropical Asia from India to Japan. With wings closed, it closely resembles a dry leaf with dark veins and is a spectacular and commonly cited example of camouflage. The wingspan of the butterfly ranges from 85 to 110 mm. Male and female butterflies are similar except that the female is generally larger and has the apex of the forewing protrude to form a longer point. The orange oakleaf is a powerful flier and usually flies in dense forests with good rainfall, amongst undergrowth and along stream beds. It is attracted to tree sap and over-ripe fruit, and is also known to mud-puddle.Much pursued by birds, when in danger the orange oakleaf flies erratically, soon dropping down into the foliage and occupying a stationary pose with wings closed, so that the birds are very often quite unable to find them.

I just finished the whole pinning process of a really cool looking butterfly and just kinda held it in my hands for a bit marveling at it its so cool

#acro posts #the butterfly is a kallima inachus butterfly or probably better known as a dead leaf butterfly #their wings look like dead leaves while closed and its really cool #the outside color of the wings are what youd expect from a dead leaf lol #but the inside is orange and dark brown with a shimmery blue that seen at certain angles! #the inside also has a couple eye spots which ive always thought looked cool #the head of the butterfly is also kinda oddly pointy?? all my other butterflies had more normal looking head but this one has a fuckin snou #sorry kinda talked more about it than i planned lol #listen listen its a wild looking butterfly i cant restrain myself from going off about it

What’s this? A dead leaf butterfly (Kallima inachus) with wings open (left) and closed (right). Amazing camouflage, right?

I found these beauties in a second hand shop, they were in a pretty dreadful frame so I removed them and will be putting them in some nicer ones 🦋

Here' the anon who thought of two-sided/colored wings for Gelato (one side camouflage, other side gorgeous) and I found the butterfly I thought of! It's the kallima inachus!

Babe I looked at it and it’s literally so gorgeous???? The leaf side is cute but the iridescent side is beautiful!!! I think I’ll just leave it up to the interpretation of the reader what their wings are like bc i can’t decide fjndjxndjfbw

I’ll leave a small list on the AU page of possible wing types :)

do you have any moths/butterflies that are just. absolutely incomprehensible in terms of design? like some REAL funky lookin wings. some epic cool colors. makes it look like the universe is failing. (something similar to a sphinx moth, perhaps?)

excellent ask. also. 

I’m so sorry to this anon whos ask has been in my inbox for months I've been so exhausted lately...this is for you too....

First up the plume moth, Pterophorus pentadactyla. weird. 

This is Macrocilix maia. Its wings look like they have flies on them.

You may have seen this. Creatonotos gangis males display coremata to further spread mate attracting pheromones.

The hornet moth Sesia apiformis mimics hornets for protection

I think everyone has heard of the Madagascan sunset moth, Chrysiridia rhipheus, at this point but come on. I still have my doubts they are real.

For the first butterfly on the list, the green dragon tail butterfly, Lamproptera Meges. 

This is my favorite moth, the giant leopard moth, Hypercompe scribonia

they can squirt a nasty tasting yellow liquid from the back of their heads as a defense

here is Kallima inachus, the dead leaf butterfly. it looks like a leaf obviously. 

PSYCH here’s their wings when opened up.

Libytheana carineta  is pretty great cause they have huge snoots. 

I shall end with the Spanish moth Xanthopastis timais, for their wild colors and cute little hearts on their wings

thank you.
