The Peacock butterfly, is a colorful butterfly, found in Europe and temperate Asia as far east as Japan.
The Peacock's spectacular pattern of eyespots, evolved to startle or confuse predators, make it one of the most easily recognized and best-known species.
Although a familiar visitor to garden buddleias in late summer, the Peacock's strong flight and nomadic instincts lead it to range widely through the countryside, often finding its preferred habitats in the shelter of woodland clearings, rides, and edges.

For this month I chose the Guava Skipper Butterfly, also called the Phocides Polybius. I thought it was a very interesting looking butterfly.
This species is nearly everyone's favorite. The adult often makes long stops at flowers allowing for excellent photographs to be taken.
Phocides polybius, the bloody spot or guava skipper, is a species of butterfly in the skipper family, Hesperiidae, that is native to the Americas. It is found from the lower Rio Grande Valley of southern Texas in the United States south through Mexico and Central America to Argentina.
The wingspan is 42–63 mm (1.7–2.5 in). There are several generations with adults on wing in February, April, and June to December in southern Texas.[1]
The Guava Skipper is found through southern and central America. Its habitat is tropical forest. Its time of flight is daytime. As a caterpillar, it is red with yellow rings and becomes white with a yellow and brown head as it grows. As a butterfly, the Guava Skipper is black with a metallic green tint to its wings. There are 2 distinct reddish-orange spots on the front edge of the forewings, one on each side midway between the head and the tip of the wings. The body also has a few metallic green stripes from head to tail. The Guava Skipper has very angular wings with the forewings wider and becoming smaller towards the hindwings. This angular wing shape makes the Guava Skipper more distinctive from other similar species. The Guava Skipper feeds mainly on guava but also feeds on other related plants.
I hope you enjoyed reading this information and looking at the pictures.
This is the Sylphina Angel Butterfly. It is a member of the clear-wing family, it is native to Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia. The Sylphina Angel Butterfly is a neo-tropical species, living in the subtropical broadleaf forests but not the true rain forest of the Amazon. The Sylphina Angel Butterfly are found in the Andean mountains.
Hope you like the images!! They were not the easiest to find!!

I wanted to do fall colors for this NOVEMBER swap
so I typed in fall butterfly
& this beauty caught my eye ;-) ლ
At first I thought it was a Peacock Butterfly because it is very similar ;-)
But this is found in the southern US
where I am!!! ;-)
Common Buckeye (Junonia coenia) butterflies are only a couple of inches across, but their eyespots can make them look much bigger to predators.
This beautiful butterfly belongs to the Nymphalidae family. It is mostly found in Southern parts of the United States. They usually live in areas of low vegetation. They have white bars on the upper wing surface with 6 prominently visible eyespots. They have a very unique and distinctive feeding pattern as they live on mud fluid and damp sand.
Hope you enjoy these fall colors & Butterflies ;-)
