An American snout butterfly resting atop watercress or duckweed. The butterfly is facing right and is just right of center in the photo. The plants are surrounding it. Its wings are closed. The body and wings are mostly brown, but with some tan at the top of the wing and a tan line just a little below that and another swath closer to the body. A little bit of orange can be seen on the hindwing. The butterfly's mouth is elongated, giving it the name. The antennae stick out a little further than the snout.
