It is instantly identified by the large, multi-colored eyespots on its crimson wings, which mimic the eyes of an owl or a larger predator to scare off hungry birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eWhen its wings are closed, the underside is a dark, dull grey—perfect camouflage that makes it look like a dead leaf while it hibernates in hollow trees or sheds during the winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eA fascinating defense mechanism of the Peacock butterfly is its ability to \"talk.\" If a predator gets too close, the butterfly rub its wings together to produce a distinct hissing sound (stridulation). Between the terrifying eyespots and the unexpected hiss, most predators decide it’s not worth the trouble!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is currently exhibited as part of the ENTOMOCOSMOS, mutual project of the Museum and me as an artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatercolor and ink, 100% cotton ARCHES paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 31 x 41 cm | 12.2 x 16.1 in (delivered in a tube)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan be framed upon personal request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Katya Shiova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44619975327798,"sku":null,"price":650.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/3935\/0838\/files\/Picsart_26-04-11_12-53-53-486_aeade3f1-561e-4e77-a60e-0001b005ce24.jpg?v=1777032086","url":"https:\/\/motheroffossildragons.com\/products\/aglais-io","provider":"Katya Shiova","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
