Eye spots can serve yet another purpose too. Often times they will be located on non vital areas to draw focus away from the real eyes. Predators will attack these less lethal spots allowing them a chance to escape even after being injured. Better to be bit on the ass than dead, as the wise ZeFrank once said

Simple. Other tigers. Tigers are solitary in nature, and have pretty big territories. So the only reason another tiger is in anothers territory is if its looking for a mate, or looking to usurp the territory. Having fake eyes on the back of their head might persuade sneak attacks from rival tigers since they might think they are being watched.

In the Amazon river and it's tributaries, this phenomenon gets very interesting. A majority of South American Cichlids have fake eyes, but what for? Cichlids are known to be some of the most territorial, aggressive freshwater fishes. The average cichlid grows to 1ft, and one in the Amazon reaches 3ft. The main hypothesis is to stop their fins from being attacked by fish (mainly characins like piranha, bucktooth tetra, payara, etc). I'm still wondering why these aggressive fish need to defend themselves against piranha, a school of most cichlids could beat a school of piranhas imo

It probably works against ambush predators since they won’t attack if they think you can see them, many tribes in Africa where masks on the back of their heads for this reason. So I think fake eye spots isn’t adapted for the intended effect for an individual species, like fake eyes or surprise, but instead are adapted to have various effects on their given predators. So a butterfly doesn’t have fake eyes to trick all predators it has fake eyes, but it might trick some birds it has fake eyes and look way bigger but may also confuse a lizard.
