Peacock

The peacock butterfly is a striking insect with colorful wings, found across Europe and parts of temperate Asia. It’s one of the first butterflies to appear in spring, often after spending winter tucked away in buildings or trees.

• Its wings feature eye-like patterns to scare off predators.
• It survives winter by sheltering in man-made structures or tree hollows.
• Found as far east as Japan in temperate regions.
