Red Peacock Butterfly


Red Peacock Butterfly

Anartia amathea

In its native South America this attractive little butterfly is common in open, weedy areas.  Here in the Butterfly Center it frequents the hottest, driest spots, so you’ll see it in the meadow area or along the stairway to the third level.  It is related to our native buckeye butterfly.
