Brassolini.
           
The Brassolini are a neotropical tribe which
includes the very large "owl butterflies" (Caligo), as well as a number of
other striking species. Many of them are
crepuscular, exhibiting rapid flight that almost
makes them look like bats. They are often seen in
the blue hour before dusk, or on cloudy days.
Going to the rotten fruit, carrion and excrement.
The larvae of brassolines feed on monocots, and
some species are pests of palms. |
         


Between

beautiful Double Spotted Owl
Butterfly, Eryphanis
zolvizora. It is active in cloudy
weather and late on days in the blue hour. |
