Peackock Butterfly on Buddleia
This magnificent Peacock Butterfly was one of dozens crowding onto these buddleia blooms in the gardens of Douneside House in Royal Deeside, Scotland.
This particular specimen is captured mid-feed with its proboscis deeply rooted into the flower. It shares the bounty with a honey bee.
This image has a slightly 'superimposed' look which is not a result of the processing but is a facet of the butterfly's markings against the out-of-focus background.
