The Northern Pearly-eye (Enodia anthedon) is a soft brown butterfly with subtle eye spots and delicate patterning that provide excellent camouflage among tree bark and forest shadows. Its understated coloration makes it easy to overlook despite its graceful presence.
Native to eastern North America, Enodia anthedon is found from southern Canada through the eastern and central United States. It prefers shaded habitats such as deciduous woodlands, forest edges, and areas near streams where grasses grow in low light conditions.
Interesting Fact:
Unlike many butterflies, the Northern Pearly-eye rarely visits flowers. Instead, it feeds on tree sap, rotting fruit, and other organic materials found on the forest floor.
This specimen is preserved and is carefully stored in a protective paper triangle, ensuring it arrives safely and is ready for spreading or long-term collection. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
