The Creole Pearly Eye (Enodia creola) is a butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. It is found from North Carolina and central Georgia west to eastern Oklahoma and eastern Texas.^[2]

The wingspan is 59-70 mm. Males have pointed forewings. The upperside is brown with patches of dark scales along the veins. The underside is tan for both malea and females. Adults feed on sap, rotting fruit, carrion and dung.

The larvae feed on the leaves of Arundinaria tecta. They only feed at night and hide at the base of the host plant during the day. The species overwinters in the larval stage.
