Its name \"Catoblepia\" originates from Greek mythology, referencing a mythical creature with the power to petrify onlookers, a nod to the butterfly's captivating appearance. With a wingspan of around 6-8 centimetres, it boasts vibrant colours, including iridescent blue and yellow hues, adorned with intricate patterns that vary among individuals. This species exhibits sexual dimorphism, with males typically displaying brighter colours than females.
