🇬🇧 The Nettle-tree (Libythea celtis), or European Beak butterfly, is a butterfly of the Libytheinae group of the brush-footed butterflies family. Their unusual shape, whether it has closed or open wings, make it difficult to confuse it with other Corfu species.

🇬🇷 Η Τσουκνίδα (Libythea celtis), ή Ευρωπαϊκή πεταλούδα ράμφους, είναι μια πεταλούδα της ομάδας Libytheinae της οικογένειας των πεταλούδων με βούρτσες. Το ασυνήθιστο σχήμα τους, είτε έχει κλειστά είτε ανοιχτά φτερά, δυσκολεύει τη σύγχυση με άλλα είδη της Κέρκυρας.
