Description: The brilliance of the dead leaf butterfly’s disguise is the fact that it hasn’t just nailed the coloring of a dead leaf, it’s got the shape, the midrib, and even the veins figured out, and it all comes together so perfectly.
The Orange Oak leaf or Dead Leaf butterfly is a nymphalidae found in Asia from India to Japan. With it’s wings closed it looks like a dry dead leaf with dark veins. No two dead leaf butterflies are ever the same this makes them even more unique. This natural history display is a spectacular example of camouflage in the insect world.
