I wish I knew junderw2! The hot weather has made this a perfect 'Butterfly Summer' for Marbled Whites, Commas, Red Admirals and Painted Ladies - but I have yet to see a Peacock!

There is certainly no shortage of the main food plant - the tall stinging nettles, or the teazel, so it's a bit of a mystery. They still flutter around long into the Autumn, so I live in hope...still, it would be good to know if there is a definitive answer.
