A butterfly or moth with distinctly angular or sharp-edged wings, or a wing shape characterized by pronounced corners and edges rather than smooth curves.
Compound of 'angle' and 'wing.' Entomological descriptor for insects whose wing shapes have angular rather than rounded margins.
Anglewing butterflies like the Comma butterfly have sharply angled wings that actually help them—the jagged edges break up their outline to predators, like a leaf, making them harder to spot and catch.
