Description:

I was on a road and found this specimen. See the color of their wings can be confused with wood or earth. And the circular patches serve to be confused with eyes.

Unfortunately not ... It's an old picture (so to speak) :/

Tricky ti ID without an open wing shot. Do you have one? There at least 10 similar species in Brazil.

Very pretty. This reminds me of our Eastern Comma, Polygonia
