Creature Awaits #222

Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry. Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )

The Mourning Cloak Butterfly

A.K.A: The Camberwell Beauty (United Kingdom), Rouwmantel (The Netherlands), Sorgmantel (Sweden), Trauermantel (Germany), Suruvaippa (Finland), Sørgekåpe (Norway)

Scientific Name: Nymphalis antiopa

Region: Throughout the Northern Hemisphere

Size: About a 4" (~10.2cm) wingspan in the Adult phase

Interesting Notes: Despite the bright patterning along its dorsal side, these beautiful butterflies camouflage well when threatened by tightly closing their wings to reveal a tree bark-like patterning and "playing dead" - tucking in their legs and holding completely still until certain the danger has passed.
