| Abstract: | The European peacock with scientific name Inachis io is exquisite colorful butterfly among the many diversity of butterfly species in the worldwide and recorded from the island of Malta. The Peacock Butterfly is easily recognisable because it has a large 'eye spot' on each of its four wings. Each eye spot is situated on the outer edge of each wing and all have bright blue markings inside. The eye spots have other colours inside them such as black, cream, orange and white. The eye spots look similar to the eye spots that can be seen on the tail of a Peacock. This is why this butterfly is called the 'Peacock Butterfly'. [excerpt] |
