Anaea aidea, the tropical leafwing, is a species of brush-footed butterfly (family Nymphalidae) in the subfamily Charaxinae. Its native range extends from Mexico to northwestern Costa Rica, with strays sometimes seen in southern Texas , Arizona, and California in the United States.[1] Some authors consider Anaea aidea to be a subspecies of Anaea troglodyta.
It has a wingspan of 57–78 mm (2.2–3.1 in). The larvae feed on Croton species.[1]
