This information was shared on Koun Banega Karodpati program.
Owl butterfly is famous for it's big eye spots on its wings that look exactly like an owl's eye !!!
It is found in the rainforests of Mexico, central and south America.
It is one of the largest butterfly species.
It won't fly all day long. Only at dusk and dawn it flies that too for very short distance !!!
WHY OWL EYES ??
To scare away predators like lizards, frogs and birds !!!
When it sits, the eyespots fool the predators into thinking its an owl not a butterfly !!!
