Hi everyone, Today I want to show you some very beautiful butterfly photos, I found them in a cocoa garden when I was doing activities there, I was amazed when I saw the butterflies with a calm posture, as if they did not feel threatened by my presence and of course I did not want to ignore this moment, so without thinking I captured some of their photos, even though they did not show any signs of being threatened by my presence, but I still had to be careful so that they did not leave their current place.
This butterfly looks prominent with its dominant brown color, while the white lines create a distinctive pattern that makes them look very graceful, while on the back of the wings there is also a pattern that forms like a bird's eye, I guess the pattern will be used by butterflies for self-defense methods from predator attacks, it is true that at first glance the pattern is very similar to the eyes of an owl which is a threat to various species, in this case the dynamic pattern is very beneficial for butterflies for protection from predators.
