Peacock (Inachis io), a beautiful butterfly in the Swedish countryside.

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Swedish: Butterflies are arguably the most beautiful insect, in my opinion. It does not irritate, but just there and is fine. In the picture you see a Peacock ( Inachis io ) which is a common butterfly in Sweden. It overwinters as an adult and is therefore usually the first butterfly you see in the spring. This allowed the Peacock photographed by Gertrudsvik of Västevik .
