White peacock butterflies
I had hoped to see a lot of butterflies while out on the golf course in Cancun. I don't golf, but was lucky to get a chance to accompany my husband and brother-in-law as they golfed. Lots of nature, but not so many butterflies. I did find this pair fluttering around. According to an iNaturalist expert this is a subspecies of the white peacock we commonly see in our region of Texas. Anartia jatrophae ssp. luteipicta
