White Peacock Butterfly

White Peacock (Anartia jatrophae.) It is found in the southeastern United States, Central America, and throughout much of South America.
The male of the species displays a unique territorial behaviour, in which they stake out a territory typically 15 metres in diameter that contains larval host plants.
They perch in this area and aggressively protect it from other insects and other male white peacocks.
