Dog on the wing

The dog on the wing is another name for a yellow-and-black butterfly named the Zerene Cesonia.Its very fast almost nerly implosible to get real close to even get a very good look at it. People started calling it the "dog on the wing" because it has the features of a dog. it has two black donts marked the "eyes" of two yellow headed poodles, profiled against black. with wings closed, a dog's face may still be glimpsed when lit from behing .and during the fall the markings turn pink and well the females have more subtle color then the male.There are also butterflys called the Southern dogfaces - which occur year-round throughout most of Texas -its a group of yellow ,orange and white butterflies. to me this is a really very interesting thing to know about all this insects because i would have never guessed that they would compare a butterfly to a dog at all because i just didn't think that a butterfly would ever look like a dog or have features of one.
