The butterfly is superbly camouflaged and its entire body is adapted to this. The irregular orange-brown spots are strikingly similar to burn holes in leaves. The wing veining is lighter and distinct and resembles the veins of a leaf. The dark ends of the veining on the wing margin resemble the leaf margin and even small spines are mimicked.
