Eye to Eye with a Butterfly

Lots of butterflies in my Butterfly Park today… Here’s a video of a Peacock butterfly, Inachis Io. (Inachus was a river god in Greek mythology, and Io his daughter, “born from his mouth” – a naiad, the nymph of a spring.)

The background sounds come from a railway crossing nearby.

  1. This is a GREAT video. And I see that loud noises don't scare butterflies!

  4. Superb movie of a superb insect, Monica. I was mesmerised by the combination of the butterfly and the bell clanging.
