Peacock

Always a treat to see a Peacock Butterfly (Aglais io). There's certainly been a noticeable decline of butterflies in our garden this year, both in number and diversity. To be honest, there's been a noticeable, nay drastic decline in insects in our garden altogether. Still, in these darkening times we've got to take moments beauty where we find it. And isn't it beautiful, mesmerizing.
