Owl Butterfly / Caligo memnon

The Owl Butterfly is one of Amazonia's largest species with a wingspan
of over 150mm. The large eyespots on the wings serve either to scare
a potential predator or to misdirect an attack away from the body (since
predators will often first attack the eyes of prospective prey).
