Buckeye (LEP136) Precis coenia 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 occur in autumn. |
