Buckeye,
Precis
coenia <LEP136>
The large eyespots giving this species its name have yellow rims and
black, blue, and violet centers. Most
of the remaining upper side is warm brown, but there are two orange bars on
each forewing, a buff band outside them, and orange below the hindwing eyespots. Among the many flowers visited by this
rapid flier is plantain, on which the caterpillar also feeds. Migrations begin in autumn. |
