[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The European peacock caterpillar (Inachis io), more commonly known simply as the peacock caterpillar, is a well-known colourful butterfly, found in temperate Europe and Asia. It is the only member of the genus Inachis which is sometimes included in Nymphalis. It should not be confused or classified with the "American peacocks" in the genus Anartia; these are not close relatives of the present species. The peacock butterfly is resident in much of its range, often wintering in buildings or trees. It therefore often appears quite early in spring.

A beautiful butterfly with wonderfully deep and rich colors. Markings are shown with excellent details and textures. I love the position with the wings opened. Looks great against your background..

Hi Siegfried.
You managed to picture an amazing specimen of European peacock ate so nice pose. POV is great as well as the sharpness of the colour reproduction of the image. I like stone surface as a BG. Excellent combination of alive creature and cold hard substrate. I have posted WS with some correction for my taste. My best wishes and TFS.
Alexei.
