White Peacock Butterfly

Description:

One afternoon, I went grocery shopping. When I got back home, I opened the front door, so I could bring the groceries in. While I was bringing the groceries in, a butterfly flew inside my house, through the front door, and landed on one of the closet doors. I was only able to take one photo of this butterfly, as I got close to it, it started flying around the inside of my house. After I put all the groceries away, I left the front door open, for one hour. During this time, this butterfly flew out through the front door, and out of my house.
