Antherina suraka butterfly (lat. Antherina suraka) is a unique butterfly from the Peacock-eye family, which was first described by the French entomologist Jean-Baptiste Boisduval in 1883. She is endemic to the islands of Mayotte and Madagascar, which makes her even more special.
This beautiful large butterfly has the characteristic Peacock Eye circles on the lower wings, surrounded by a bright lilac border, which is its distinctive feature. Males of this species have a unique sense of smell, which allows them to find females at a distance of up to 1000 meters or more thanks to the pheromones that they secrete.
