Pseudautomeris toulgoeti is a species of butterfly which belongs to the family of saturniids (Saturniidae).

Medium-sized (wingspan 60-80 millimetres), brown saturniids with large eye markings on their back wings.

he base color of the hind wing is often reddish, the eye spot has a bluish core.

Should an animal still detect the butterfly, it opens the distortions so that the "staring" eye spots appear - this is often enough to scare away a small predator.

The larvae tend to sit in tight junctions on tree trunks, and are quite well camouflaged, so that one can inadvertently easily contact them.
