The white peacock butterfly (Anartia jatrophae), found in the southern United States and Central America, is recognized by its delicate white wings marked with orange and brown eyespots. Feeding on toxic plants, this butterfly retains chemicals that make it distasteful to predators, serving as a natural defense mechanism.
