Which Peacock?

 Hi there,

A first for me, and I think it is a standard 'Peacock' rather than 'Sharp-angled'. Most features suggest that, except that it does seem to have a grey cross-band running through the 'paw-prints'.

Wotcha fink??

    Hi David,
    Yes, that's Peacock. The first thing to look for if you suspect Sharp-angled Peacock (still rare in our area although seemingly moving in) is the black line around the outer edge of the hind-wing, constant in Peacock and usually a series of dashes in Sharp-angled.

    Excellent! I had clocked that difference, but wasn't sure if it was reliable. Many thanks. Cholesbury Common's macro list is now 301.
