White peacock butterfly

Description:

I saw a newly emerged white peacock stumble onto my screen porch. When I took it outside, it hung from a twig for a while. When it climbed down it was immediately greeted by two other white peacocks, apparently trying to mate.

Habitat:

Backyard; vegetation includes green shrimp plant, Mexican petunia, golden dewberry, mixed lawn grasses
