What is the owl butterflies predator?

Owl butterflies, known for their striking eyespot patterns, primarily face predation from birds, particularly species that hunt insects. Other predators include large insects like wasps and some reptiles.

Additionally, their ability to blend into their surroundings further aids in avoiding predation.
