Pearly Eye (LEP156c) Lethe portlandia This
species inhabits woods of the East where it perches on tree trunks and flies
rapidly among the dappled shadows. The
color underneath is light brown, with a lilac hue and a pearly sheen. Brown lines cross the wings, and an
orange-like line runs around the rims.
The brown eyespots lie in a loose buff band and have orange rings
around them and blue or pearly pupils. |
