Moth Eye-of-Ox

Automeris illustris

Habitat:

I found this specimen in a region of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest.

Notes:

This is a "Moth Eye-of-Ox" ("Automeris illustris"). Look a Saturniid Caterpillar of same specie: [ http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/239... ] And a Cocoon: [ http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/210... ]
