Butterfly have developed eyespots that appear to be extra eyes. Patterns often evolve to help animals hide from predators, but eyespots usually increase visibility. It's thought that eyespots simply mimic the eyes of predators. In this case they act as a deterrent to predators, making attackers think they are suddenly facing a larger and potentially dangerous animal.
