Mead's Wood-Nymph, Mead's Wood Nymph
Cercyonis meadii is a brush-footed butterfly in the family Nymphalidae, found in North America. First described by William Henry Edwards in 1872, it is one of several wood-nymph species in the genus Cercyonis. The species is distinguished from congeners by subtle morphological differences in wing pattern and size. Four subspecies are currently recognized, with the nominate subspecies C. m. meadii occurring across the core range.
