Not sure if this is one of those dead leaf butterflies - haven't had a chance to ID it yet. Seen at the Calgary Zoo in their new tropical butterfly room in the ENMAX Conservatory. And now I need to go and get myself ready to go with a friend north west of the city to the Water Valley area. This is where Sandhill Cranes have been reported recently, as well as Great Gray Owls and even a Barred Owl (or was it a Boreal???) Keeping my fingers crossed for the Cranes in particular ... but you know how it is, LOL. I think this butterfly may be a Chocolate Pansy/Chocolate Soldier, Junonia iphita.
