Great job Robert, they are adorned like that to make predators think a much larger creature is staring at them with a large eye. Nature has it's way of protecting the weak. This is a wonderful job and I thank you for sharing this with us. Kudos my friend.
I would say you are right. It does have owl type markings. Great positioning for display. Sharpness and clarity are at their usually quality. Well done.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

What a fabulous shot of an extraordinary butterfly, the clarity and composition are first rate and the butterfly with its impersonating camouflage is fascinating.
