Southern Dogface — Image by kenne

Southern Dogface butterflies are so named for the yellow dog’s head marking surrounded by black on each
of their dorsal forewings. Their ventral wing surfaces are yellow with a small, black-ringed spot

on each forewing and either one or two small, brown to pink-ringed spots on each hindwing. The forewings
are point-tipped and can either be straight-edged to slightly hooked , as with this Southern Dogface.
