Whoooo's looking at you? It's no owl. It’s an insect!
With black spots rimmed by gold and white on their wings that resemble glowing eyes, owl butterflies’ unique camouflage deters potential predators. These big beauties are especially active at dusk.
Visitors are invited to spend an Evening with Owls at the Cockrell Butterfly Center and meet this fascinating species up close. Guests can watch hundreds whirl and tumble at twilight, then grab a bite nearby and learn more about their behavior.
