- This beautiful brown butterfly was working the edge of the dike that passes between a pond and a marsh area. He seemed more interested in resting than feeding.
I’ve searched through several online butterfly identification resources but haven’t come up with a match.
Edit: White Peacock Butterfly. I was searching for brown butterfly with white, and this is officially a white butterfly with brown. Thank you, Hans Wikström https://livifriluft.com/ .

Maybee a white peacock butterfly, according to Google lens.
Thanks, Hans, I didn’t see that as a possibility but will check it out.
White Peacock it is, Hans! I had been searching for brown with white, and this is technically a white with brown butterfly. A lesson there for me to expand my thinking. Thank you!
Just happy to be of any help.

It’s stunning Ellen! Great find and you captured it beautifully.
Thank you Sandra!
It is lovely. I’ve never seen a butterfly at rest. Very nice, Ellen!
Thank you, Belinda! I hadn’t seen one not move for so long and wondered if he was dying. He didn’t, I looked away and back and he was gone.
