Caligo atreus

The Caligo atreus, a member of the Nymphalidae family and the Morphinae subfamily, reveals on this side the understated elegance of its velvety brown, contrasted by a subtle gradient of golden ochre. Less striking than its raptor-like ocelli, this profile highlights a strategy of discretion and camouflage.

Presented in a hermetically sealed glass-fronted box, it is enhanced by a black frame on a white background. Each specimen is carefully identified by a calligraphed label, indicating its Latin name and origin. A brass plaque engraved with the name Deyrolle certifies the authenticity of this piece.
