POV you're a Peacock butterfly soaking up every last scrap of winter sunshine We'd hiss too if someone was blocking our sun! Peacocks (Aglais io) are one of the few butterflies that overwinter as adults. Not just a pretty face, these impressive insects will flash their 'eyespots' and rub their forewings and hindwings together to produce a hissing sound, scaring off any potential predators. This stunning individual was spotted basking in a garden in Somerset by Jake Hearney 📹 | Butterfly Conserv
