American Snout
Libytheana carinenta

Observation date: May 02, 2023
Submitted by: jamesvonloh
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: A pair of snouts appeared to be courting while in a hackberry tree along the Arroyo Trail which drains a portion of the Organ Mountains. I would say that one of them was definitely courting while the other just appeared hungry. The afternoon was sunny, warm, and windy.
