Description
The white peacock is a whitish butterfly, but it has light orange wing borders and a lot of gray brown markings. Each forewing bears a single solid black spot and the hind wings have two smaller black dots. The wingspan is 2 to 2.8 inches (5 to 7 cm). The white peacock is a common butterfly of open, weedy sites along waterways, swamps or ditches, where its larval host plants typically grow. It has a fast, low, erratic flight and is often difficult to approach. Females are significantly larger than males. It is common throughout southern Texas and Florida. Info from FloriData.com. Not my best photo but I had not seen one before. Photo taken at the local swamp. It will zoom for best details.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Butterflies are such delicate and lovely creatures. A pity their lives are so short. This photo reminds me of a Chinese legend regarding two ill-fated lovers. The lovers reunited in the afterlife as a pair of butterflies.
