Owl Eye Butterfly, Costa Rica
$ 85.00 - $ 125.00 AU
The truth is that I saw many of these butterflies in Costa Rica, across time. One morning though, during a very quiet time living near Puerto Viejo during covid-19, I was walking the hostel dogs and noticed a large one sitting on a fallen tree at the end of the beach. It let me take photos, good photos, from which I've been able to create this image.
Apparently the markings on the wings are a developed adaptation intended to look like the eyes of an owl as a defensive strategy. Mimicry. You're less likely to be the prey if you look like a watchful hunter. So clever...
Print Information

Please note that colours may vary from what you see on your screen or computer monitor. This is due to the fact that every screen or monitor has a different capability to display colours and that we all see these colours differently.
