The Aymara Split-Circle Owl Eye Butterfly Cufflinks is feathery form of the Caligo Oileus wings which are rarely seen during the day, but these cufflinks are a lasting evidence to their night-time sophistication. These butterflies are known by their owl-like eyes which adorn the underside of their hind wings and their separate soft, feathery appearance. The have a slow flapping flight, therefore some scientists believe their "eyespot" could possibly function as a decoy from predators, which is a great example of their evolutionary success. The Caligo Oileus is usually encountered by itself, flying alone just before dusk along narrow trails, and on damp and dull mornings they can be seen flutter along the restrictions of forest roads. These serene, night creatures are a proof to the dignity of development and the intense beauty in nature.
