They are a defense mechanism used to scare off or confuse potential predators, but don't let them scare you off too! The topside of the Owl butterfly wings can come in a variety of warm browns to shimmering blues, if that's

The black is truly rich and deep dark

occasionally

These thick wings and body no doubt enable it to fly faster than the average butterfly

The male Scarlet mormon's topsides are mostly black with a little bit of grey

If you hold the butterfly parallel to the ground and slowly turn the head up until it's perpendicular
