A defence mechanism to make them appear larger or threatening.
False eyes are a defence method in the animal world. With false eyes, various butterfly, caterpillar and fish species convince their enemies that they are 'dangerous'.





Suggesting their great survival value, such eyespots have evolved on many kinds of completely unrelated animals, including octopi, birds, frogs and fishes, as well as on butterflies such as buckeyes, painted ladies and morphos.





Invariably, false eyes are much larger and more colorful than the real eyes, and are placed at the rear of the body, far from the animal's head. Because predators often strike the head of their prey, such false eyes misdirect the attack to a less vulnerable portion of the animal, allowing it to escape with only the loss of a bit of wing or fin.
To fool predators.
