Silverspot Butterfly

The silverspot butterfly is an insect that goes by many names. Scientifically described as Dione juno, the butterflies are alternatively known as silver-spotted flambeaus and the larvae are often referred to as passion fruit caterpillars or hornworms. Physiological studies reveal that members of this butterfly species possess exceptionally keen eyesight and can learn to discriminate flowers rapidly based on color association, distinctly preferring those that are red or blue.
