Framed Owl Butterfly (Caligo eurilochus) – Real Specimen Display
Add a touch of rainforest mystery to your collection with this professionally framed Owl Butterfly (Caligo eurilochus), also known as the Forest Giant Owl.
This large butterfly is displayed underside-up to reveal its most famous feature: two huge, realistic eyespots on the hindwings that resemble the eyes of an owl, set against intricately mottled browns, creams, and greys that look like tree bark. The eyespots are thought to startle or confuse predators. With a wingspan that can reach around 5 inches or more, it is one of the most dramatic butterflies of the American tropics.
Found in the rainforests of Central and South America, Owl Butterflies are most active at dawn and dusk, when they glide through the forest understory.
