Giant Owl Butterfly (Caligo telamonius memnon)

Posted on Jan 3, 2015

For some reason I do not think you will be finding a butterfly on the wing, or on the tree, if you are living in the Northeast today. This Giant Owl Butterfly (Caligo telamonius memnon) was a yard find for our guys in Costa Rica, as photographed by RTPI Affiliate Sean Graesser. It certainly has an eye for fashion and survival.
