Description:

Summary[edit] Description: A Giant Owl Butterfly (Caligo Memnon) longs for a taste of melon. These beautiful butterflies are found in the rainforests of Mexico, Central America, and South America; if you live in this part of the world, they are easily attracted to your backyard using any type of melon or fruit. Look closely at the tip of its wing, you can see how it imitates a snake's head to ward off would-be predetors. Also known as the Pale Owl Butterfly. Date: 29 June 2016, 11:12. Source: Refreshment.
