White Peacock Butterfly

Orlando Wetlands, Florida

It’s all in your perspective, and maybe influenced by your specimen. The wide variations in nature are amazing.
I had searched for “Brown Butterfly” to identify this new to me butterfly and even used that to name my post. I didn’t find any matches.

It turns out it is identified using white as the primary color: the White Peacock Butterfly. If I had seen this second butterfly photographed later the same day first I might have searched differently. Or maybe not!

After first seeing the butterfly from my post Brown Butterfly I spotted another White Peacock Butterfly at the other end of the dike. This second specimen does appear to have more white than brown as his primary color. My next post will compare the two.

In addition to the surprise of the butterfly I did not expect to see honeysuckle still in bloom.

The honeysuckle was quite fragrant and the butterfly worked it from all angles.
