Idomeneus Giant Owl Butterfly Pendant

The Idomeneus Giant Owl Butterfly, also known by its genus name, Caligo, is known for its huge eyespots, which resemble an owl’s eyes. These butterflies are not known to fly very far, and the “eyespots” help to protect them from predators.

This sterling silver pendant is made with real Idomeneus wings, collected sustainably by an indigenous community in Peru after the butterflies' natural life cycle has been completed. Afterwards, the wings are carefully set into sterling silver bezels, allowing you to see both sides of the butterfly’s wing. Your purchase of this butterfly wing jewelry supports habitat preservation in the Amazon rainforest and allows the butterfly’s beauty to live on. Size: .75" x .59". Sterling silver. Fair trade.
