Psilos insect gallery Butterflies |
Peacock Inachis io |
One of the most familiar and beautiful
of all the UK butterflies that is found in a wide range of habitats.
Large nettle patches are chosen areas for egg laying. Preferred nectar
sources are willows in spring and teasels, thistles, and hemp-agrimony
in late summer. The adults overwinter and often are the first to venture
out during sudden spells of warm weather. Usually seen from March to
September. |
