Caligo memnon pupae

Caligo memnon pupae, the giant owl or pale owl.

Caligo memnon pupae are among the most popular choices for butterfly houses, tropical exhibits, and educational displays.
This impressive neotropical butterfly is well known for the two large eyespots on its wings, resembling the eyes of an owl, a striking defensive adaptation that captivates visitors.
Caligo memnon is a robust and easy-to-rear species, capable of producing continuous generations under warm and stable conditions.
Adults readily mate in medium to large enclosures and feed on overripe and fermented fruit, especially bananas.
The species is also valued for its excellent adult longevity, with individuals that can live for more than two months, making it ideal for long-term butterfly exhibits.
