Ellen de Koster won that challenge, so she was in charge of deciding on the donation target. She picked the &quot;Vlinder Stichting&quot; (Butterfly Donation), an organization in the Netherlands which aims to protect and recover the butterfly and dragonfly species. JungleDragon just donated 75 EURO to that organization.  Caligo atreus,Donations,Europe,Leidschedam,Macro,Netherlands,Vlinders aan de Vliet,Yellow-edged Giant Owl Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

The Yellow-edged Giant Owl (Caligo atreus) is a butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. The species can be found from Mexico to Peru. The wingspan is 140–160 mm. The larvae feed on Musa and Heliconia species and can be a pest for banana cultivation. Adults feed on juices of rotting fruit.
