Owl Butterfly


These enormous, tropical Owl Butterflies perch with their wings closed. However, when I called in at the Zoo yesterday afternoon, I was so lucky to see this one actually open its wings for a few moments. Unfortunately, I had to use flash and it wasn't until I downloaded my photos to my computer, that I realized the flash had caused two wide, white stripes, ha. Oh, well, I will give you an idea of how amazing these butterflies are, both topside and underside.
Thanks to bayucca, who gave the following comment:
"The white stripes are NOT from the flash! It is typical for Caligo atreus, this wonderful owl has some white stripes on the forewings. So you can continue with using flash for butterflies. Sometimes it really helps with accentuated colors."
