A photograph of a Peacock butterfly that has richly coloured velvety orange red wings which are open as it basks in the sunshine. Its wings have the distinctive iridescent markings, some resembling 'eyes' as a defence mechanism similar to those found on a peacocks tail hence its name. It is feeding on the flowers of Erysimum Bowles Mauve which it loves. The background is blurred, predominately pale green with splash of pink from the flowers behind. Taken in the South East, UK

Here's a glorious Peacock Butterfly for you.... a dazzling and enchanting beauty that visited our garden yesterday 🦋 📷 🌿

Wishing everyone the best day possible 🕊️

A spicebush swallowtail butterfly is sitting on the ground. The pic, shot from above, shows large black wings slightly apart. The black background is contrasted by white-to-teal splotches on the wing edges, with two orange spots near the body.

A caterpillar with a bright red head, long bristles sticking out in front ,while its back sports four white tufts of bristles, and short bristles sticking out the sides of the body. It is on the bark of a Chinese elm tree, the bark a patchwork of smooth teal color and raised brown ridges and pimples.

Saw the first fur tussock moth caterpillar of the year yesterday. This one is on the bark of a Chinese elm tree, making for a cool color photo. #photography #photo #tussockmoth #caterpillar #moths #insect #nature #wildlife #lepidoptera #furtussockmoth #naturephotograph #chineseelm #chineseelmtree

A orange and black winged male monarch butterfly is collecting nectar from an unidentified flower with bright orange/red petals. The background of green leaves and stems goes out of focus.

Hey mycology and nature friends - any thoughts on what this is? Taken in Southern Iowa in May several years ago in shady understory. Two different clusters, larger one has spikes.

A spicebush swallowtail butterfly, with black wings speckled with white, orange and aqua blue splotches, is drinking nectar from the red flower of a cypress vine morning glory. The morning glory vines are entangled with the mesh of a chain-link fence.
