Saturated - _TNY_6196

At first, this looks just like the pale giant owl butterfly (Caligo memnon), but then you realise that the colours are too saturated and that this instead must be a yellow-edged giant owl (Caligo atreus), also known as the banded owl butterfly.

 

If you should manage to get to see it with the wings open, the colours on display are anything but pale with black wings with a vibrant dark blue and yellow band.
