: Masquerain’s antennas have eyelike patterns that usually give it an angry look. If the “eyes” are droopy and appear sad, it is said to be a sign that a heavy rainfall is on its way.

: It intimidates enemies with the eye-like patterns on its antennae. Its four wings allow it to fly in any direction.
: Its wings and antennae don’t cope well with moisture. After a rain, it faces sunward to dry off.
: Masquerain intimidates enemies with the eyelike patterns of its eyespots. If that doesn’t work, it deftly makes its escape on its set of four wings.
