About this Species
Caligo memnon features a more velvety, dark coloration on its wings compared to other members of the genus. Its 'owl eyes' are particularly prominent and serve as a highly effective defense against birds.
Habitat
Found in both wet and dry tropical forests, usually in the more pristine regions of the Amazon.
Sustainability First
At Kukusa, we only deal with specimens from sustainable butterfly farms in Peru. Each purchase supports local conservation efforts and rural livelihoods.
