Bug of the Week - February 27, 2013

Are you ready for another insect identification challenge? Here's your Bug of the Week. If you know what it is, post your answer in a comment. You'll get your accolades (if you are correct) next Wednesday, when I post the next challenge.

Kudos to Moni for correctly identifying the common wood nymph (Cercyonis pegala). This brush-footed butterfly inhabits most of the United States and southern Canada.
