Excellent Charles.
This specimen is a butterfly but for anyone interested in the evolution/function of eye spots in the Giant Silkmoths (almost a standard feature in this group) the following book is a fascinating read. Fact or fiction? hard to decide.

Quote – Holmes on ‘Entomology’
” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr
