One-Eyed Owl - _TNY_1425
The giant owl butterfly (Caligo memnon) is large species. And the "owl" part of the name obviously come from the "eyes" on the wings.
When I visit my local butterfly house and talk with other visitors who perhaps don't visit as often as I do, several of them have refered to this one as the owl butterfly - without knowing about its actual name! Seems like a pretty fitting name then, right?.
