Specimen NC | Peacock Butterfly

[Aglais io]

These butterflies are located in Europe and the temperate areas of Asia. If the peacock butterfly is attacked, it’ll flash its wings to show its eyespots, and make a hissing noise to scare off predators.

SPECIAL THANKS

to the Museum of York County

for their generous permission to paint right there in their Naturalist Center—so I could experience these beautiful creations up close and personal.
