Opsiphanes cassiae

Observation date: August 25, 2022
Submitted by: Paul Prappas
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: In the photo, taken through a scope, you can see two owl butterflies next to a White-spotted Prepona. The Owl-Butterflies appeared to be different species. However, after studying field guides, it became clear that they both were Cassia's; the upper one being the male and the lower one with the broad white bands, the female.
