Dear all,
I was walking in one of the local woodlands (Hereford, United Kingdom)
yesterday and came across a Peacock Butterfly (Inachias io) without
any eyespots. The eyespot was simply black. I have never seen this
before and have not heard of other reports.
I did not have a net with me otherwise I would have inpected it
closer. Anyone else come across this?
I also have an albino ringlet caught ten years ago in my collection in
the Wyre Forest is this also a rarity.
