Masquerain is based on insects (especially moths) with {{wp|Eyespot (mimicry)|eyespots}} used to frighten would-be predators. It is also possible that Masquerain was designed to look like a mask. Both of its antennae have designs that look like eyes, much like an {{wp|owl butterfly}}. Also, its flight is similar to that of a {{wp|damselfly}}. | Masquerain is based on insects (especially moths) with {{wp|Eyespot (mimicry)|eyespots}} used to frighten would-be predators.
