Peacock Butterfly....


Last week we we able to catch a photograph of this pretty Peacock butterfly in the Garden Centre, milling around the flowers in the sunshine. It's favourite flowers are Budleja and Lavender.

Caterpillars of this variety of butterfly love munching on sting nettles!

Peacock butterflies are believed to be able to live up to eleven months and takes its name from the bird Peacock due to its markings.
