| Sun basking on warm surfaces is not unusual in many species of butterflies. |

| The eyespots and bright colours make the Peacock an unmistakable butterfly. |

Thank you Giga! Those big eyes are
beautiful.
Beautiful photos of a lovely butterfly! The only ones I have seen here this year have been very worn, over-wintered individuals. Hopefully we will see some newly emerged ones towards the end of July, I do hope so! The weather here has been devastating for our wildlife this year :-(
Claudia
Thank you Claudia! Nice of you to say so!

Thank you so much.
Have a nice weekend too.
I can remember the excitement when i first saw one of these near Windermere when I was a kid.........
All great art is but a vision of creation,
Near to God and near to nature,
Remote from worldly wisdom.

Hi Stuart
It's always exciting discovering
new species.Even now I still get a thrill when I see a beautiful butterfly.

Thank you for leaving such a lovely
quote by M.K. Not one that I knew but it is very true.
Wow, how lucky you are having seen such a beautiful butterfly. I would be so delighted to see one in person. I'd say she has the most beautiful wings.
psychelyn
Yes! I do feel lucky whenever I see
this particular species.It is such a showy butterfly, and those big eyes wow me every time!!
