Photo of the Giant Forest Owl Butterfly taken in the rain forest at Manuel Antonio in Costa Rica (26/02/17). A huge butterfly, 7 inches wingspan, it displays a large eyespot on the underside of each of its hind wings, so when resting with its wings folded the eyespots are prominently displayed --- this form of "Mimicry" fools predators into thinking it is an Owl rather than a butterfly, and it doesn't get attacked. Taken with D750 and 105mm., Micro plus 1.4TC @ 150mm., f4.2, ISO 4,500, 1/1000 Sec., handheld.
