Peacock butterfly (Aglais io). I’m still waiting to see the first one in my garden this year so, in the meantime, here’s a close look at one I caught on a sunny day at Severn Valley Country Park. (Apologies for the poor quality of this image. I accidentally deleted the wrong one. I’ll blame it on my age 😆)

Peacock butterfly

This striking butterfly known since 1699 as 'Peacock Eye' due to the defensive 'owl eye like' markings on its hindwings has a range of other tactics which it uses against predatory birds or inquisitive mice and bats encroaching on its 'settled' tree bark territory. The underside of its wings offer excellent camouflage while hibernating in tree crevices or holes. Additionally the Peacock flashes its wings open when an enemy approaches, simultaneously rubbing the forewings and hindwings together to produce a warning hiss. (Thomas and Lewington : The butterflies of Britain and Ireland). The Peacock feeds on a wide variety of flowers. This one has settled on Red Campion.

Ho scavato tutta la terra per trovarti.

Ho setacciato entro il mio cuore il deserto. Sapevo che

senza l’uomo non è piena

la luce del sole. Mentre ora, guardando

entro tanta trasparenza il mondo,

entro di te – s’appressano le cose

si fanno distinte, si fanno diafane –

ora

posso

articolare il suo ordine in una mia poesia.

Prendendo una pagina metterò

su linee rette la luce.

Dans la mythologie grecque, Io, prêtresse au temple d'Héra à Argos, fut remarquée un jour par Zeus et elle devint rapidement une de ses nombreuses maîtresses. Zeus lui donnait de fréquents rendez-vous en se changeant en nuage. Leur relation continua jusqu'à ce que Héra, l'épouse de Zeus, les eût presque surpris en forêt. Zeus parvint à échapper à cette situation en transformant Io en une belle génisse blanche.

«Io non sono io,

io sono quello che mi cammina accanto e che non vedo,

che qualche volta vado a trovare, e altre dimentico.

Io non sono io, io sono quello che quando parla ascolta attentamente e in silenzio,

quello che quando odio perdona dolcemente,

quello che quando esco rimane dentro,

quello che quando muoio rimane in piedi»

(Juan Ramon Jimenez)
