Talk:Owl butterfly

I think you will need to supply some sources for this claims in this article. The 'making a sound like an owl' claim is particularly dubious, as is the one claiming it has feathers. --Randolph 04:23, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Scientific evidence aside, it is uncanny how much the spread-open wings look like an owl. It's almost photographic. It'd be really nice to have a picture in the article showing this -- not necessarily because it proves anything but because it's an amazing thing about this animal. Matthew Miller

The image captioned "Caligo eurilochus" looks more like an Eryphanis sp. than a Caligo. Kibuyu (talk) 16:21, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Speculation
It seems to me a fair amount of this article is pure speculation. At what point does someone draw the line and get rid of the offending text? At any rate, the bulk of the text dealing with the common name is unnecessary; the (human) interpretation of the eyespots as "owl-like" has no bearing whatsoever on their evolutionary efficacy, of which there is voluminous scientific evidence.Nickrz (talk) 18:12, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
