Distribution: Inachis io is a very common resident in the Netherlands. The Dutch population is sometimes supplemented by wandering individuals. The species occurs nearly all over the Netherlands, the butterfly being found in places with nectar-rich flowers in a wide variety of habitats.\nFood Plants: The larval food plant is Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica). The female butterfly lays her eggs on plants growing in the half shadow in damp places.\nFlying Season: Peacock Butterfly flies in one generation from mid-July until the end of August. It hibernates as an adult, and the butterflies fly from the end of March until the beginning of June.
