An owl butterfly is a butterfly, in the genus Caligo, known for their huge eyespots, which resemble owls' eyes. They are found in the rainforests and secondary forests of Mexico, Central, and South America
With all the beautiful butterflies everyone is sharing I thought I would find one a little less showy ..... or is it?
The Dead Leaf butterfly, Kallima inachus, is an incredible camouflage expert. Once in place, the butterfly closely resembles a dry leaf with dark veins and even a stalk.
The Dead Leaf butterfly can be found in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Myanmar. While in Southeast Asia it occurs in southern China, Thailand, Laos, Taiwan and Vietnam.
With its wings open the Dead Leaf butterfly's colors rival that of any of the species.
There are other "Leaf" butterflies but I found this one fascinating because of the pronounced contrast in the top and bottom of its wings. I hope you do too.

I hope you are enjoying these swaps as much as I am! THANK YOU for joining in! ;-)
I am going to focus on the Arhopala Hercules Butterfly...because it is my favorite color! ;-)
It is also known as the The Purple-glazed Oakblue (Arhopala agaba, sometimes placed in Amblypodia[1])
IT is a small butterfly found from India to Thailand, Langkawi, Indo China, Peninsular Malaya to the Philippines and Sumatra that belongs to the Lycaenids or Blues family.
It has a very beautiful Purple Shimmer
Enjoy your swap & Blessings, cc

Hi! Here is my posting for BLG ~ Butterfly profile deco July.
I already did my state butterfly last month, the Monarch, state butterfly of Texas, so this time I'm featuring one of my summer favorites, the pipevine swallowtail. The Pipevine Swallowtail (Battus philenor) of North America and Central America is black with iridescent blue hind wings. They are found in many different habitats, but most commonly in forests. The black or red caterpillars feed on pipevine (Aristolochia) species, making them poisonous as both larvae and adults, while the adults feed on the nectar of a variety of flowers.
