Graphic design of a beautiful peacock butterfly. The perfect gift for every butterfly lover.

Peacock Butterfly drinking nectar from a Buddleia. These can live for up to 11 months and prefer to live in nettle beds.

Is it the same one as I have uploaded before ? I don't know. Location - Bolton Lancashire North West UK Sony DSC-HX1
