Take that long paragraph apart and put it into sections and it will be B material. -- IvanTortuga 05:31, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Why is this article not named "Peacock (butterfly) (which redirects here)"? If one looks at the category "British Butterflies", there are the "Painted Lady", the "Red Admiral" etc but there is no "Peacock". In the " List of British Butterflies" it is listed under "Peacock" with "Inachis io" as a qualifier, so why not here? Surely there should be consistency in naming. -- 78.54.116.199 ( talk) 10:23, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

removed the
image gallery claiming it to be "per
WP:IG".
To most lay people, the looks of a butterfly (and its caterpillar) is "what it's all about"!
Hence an image gallery, here, definitely (quoting
WP:IG): "illustrate[s] aspects of [the] subject that cannot be easily or adequately described by text or individual images".
And therefore I have put
part of the gallery back into the article.

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Inachis io Lill-Jansskogen.JPG will be appearing as picture of the day on March 10, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-03-10. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! — howcheng { chat} 07:59, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Grmanners has moved this page to Aglais io from Inachis io. Most the the references in the article refer to Inachis io, including the Commons and Wikispecies pages. No references were provided nor was concensus obtained. Marku Savela's site calls it Nymphalis io while its original name was Papilio io. I have been unable to find its entry in Lepindex. Very confusing. What is the accepted name of this species, and genus for that matter? Dger ( talk) 01:44, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi guys, I just added a well-referenced and researched section on the defense mechanisms of the butterfly. I think it is a valuable contribution to the page, as there was not really any detailed discussion of the butterfly's predator-prey interactions. Solon5g93 ( talk) 18:53, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
I added sub-headings to my section to make it easier to read. In addition, I fixed the titling of the two headings under the Behavior section to line them up with Wikipedia's standard of style. Solon5g93 ( talk) 01:57, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
How is it that the caterpillars do not get stung by the stinging nettle? Why mainly eat this plant?
Why do the caterpillars not need to drink? Do they get all their water from the leaves they eat?
Do they need to sleep? Sometimes they are very still and cluster together in groups on the plant.
They always try to get to the highest point on a plant. Why is this? Most of the time they eat, but sometimes they race around as fast as they can with no discernible goal.
What are the spines on the caterpillars for? Are they defense? If picked up, the caterpillar shoots a liquid out. Is this poison? Otherwise they freeze when nearby vibrations or sound disturb them. Is this to hide from predators like birds?
Much info is missing about the caterpillars rather than the butterfly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.226.118 ( talk) 21:38, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
