J Darcy 5,871 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Peacock butterfly Inachis io family - Nymphalidae thanks for that,so i take it they are common enough They are pretty common mate, but in my opinion, the best looking butterfly ever. That one will have survived last winter tucked up in a crevice or cave, only to now emerge, feed and mate. If its a she, then she will be heading to a nettle bed and lay her eggs, ensuring that her genes are passed on.... thanks for sharing.....JD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
