The Common Buckeye (Junonia coenia) is a bold and eye-catching butterfly known for its rich brown wings accented with bright orange bands and prominent eye spots. These large, colorful eye spots help deter predators by mimicking the eyes of larger animals.
Native to North America, Junonia coenia is found throughout much of the United States and into parts of Mexico. It is commonly seen in open habitats such as fields, roadsides, gardens, and coastal areas.
Interesting Fact:
This species is highly migratory in parts of its range, often moving northward during warmer months and recolonizing areas each year rather than overwintering in colder regions.
This specimen is preserved, fully spread and professionally mounted in a clear PE display frame, making it ready for immediate display. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
