Butterfly heaven! A Peacock Butterfly soaks up the warm spring sun while sipping on the nectar of a Flowering Currant in a North Norfolk garden.
Taken from 4.7metres (15.5ft) away with a telephoto lens at ISO 2500 and heavily cropped rather than with a macro lens hence the lack of fine detail!
Queen (Danaus gilippus: Nymphalidae) Wingspan 7.6-8.9 cm (3.0-3.5 in). The top three are males. They were nectaring Greggs mistflower (Conoclinium greggii: Asteraceae).
Picture taken Spring of 2020 in China Grove, Piedmont Region, North Carolina using cell phone camera
The butterfly is on a purple, Common Hibiscus, Hibiscus syriacus.
