It belongs to the Nymphalidae family and is part of the Caligo genus, which is well known for its large size and distinctive eyespots on the wings. These butterflies are primarily found in tropical rainforests, where they thrive in humid environments. Their wings feature a rich brown coloration with intricate patterns, and the underside displays large, eye-like markings that help deter predators by mimicking the eyes of an owl.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike other Caligo species, C. beltrao is crepuscular, meaning it is most active at dawn and dusk. This behavior helps it avoid diurnal predators while still being able to feed on fermenting fruit, its primary food source. The caterpillars of this species feed on banana plants and other members of the Musaceae family, making them an important part of their ecosystem. Due to habitat loss and deforestation, their populations face some threats, but they are still relatively common in suitable environments.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they take care of conserving the rainforest where they fly and developing responsible conscious trading.\nThis allows us to support local ranching farms with ethically sourced material and help at the same time collectors and enthusiasts to contribute to understanding and treasuring those species.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease take into consideration that the specimen that you will receive may slightly differ in size, shape or colour from the picture shown as you are purchasing a natural product.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease note: In our selection of white frames, the inner box frame—the part that creates the depth of the shadow box—is currently only available in black, as white versions are not available at this time.
