Opsiphanes invirae
Butterfly just emerged from its chrysalis. Brown-colored wings and eye-like circles.
My backyard
My family and I had the opportunity to follow the metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly. The kids loved it, and were impressed by the beauty of natural things.
Great job Fernando ! It is an amazing butterfly and the catty is equally interesting. Thanks for sharing this.
The prepupal caterpillar looks similar as well.
