Identify Animal Eyes!


Butterfly Wings

Many butterflies have eye spots on their wings, which are used as a defense mechanism against predators. In some cases, when a butterfly is resting on a leaf or something, the eye spot is hidden until a predator decides to attack, at which point the butterfly shows off its eye spots, confusing and scaring off the predator. Eye spots also serve the dual purpose of being a non-life-threatening target for predators.
