1. Peacock Multi-Cache

The Butterflies series is a circular 6.5 mile walk starting and finishing at Tur Langton. Many of the butterflies named in the series can be seen in the countryside around Tur Langton. 

There is ample street parking in Tur Langton village near #1. In order to complete the multi cache without backtracking it is recommended that a clockwise direction is followed. Tweezers will be required for some of the containers.

The route is easy walking along footpaths with mostly dog friendly stiles, bridlepaths and a single track road. Suitable footwear is required as at certain times of the year it may well be quite muddy and in places the ground is a little uneven. At the time of setting, in April, the paths were firm and mostly dry and I spotted Peacock and Brimstone butterflies as I walked round the circuit.

Butterflies and moths are known scientifically as Lepidoptera (meaning scaley wings), because their wings are covered with thousands of tiny, overlapping scales. There are about 170,000 known species of Lepidoptera, about one tenth of these are butterflies.
In the UK we have 58 main types of butterfly.

The Peacock butterfly is a familiar sight in gardens across the British Isles and is unmistakable, with quite spectacular eyes on the upperside of the hindwings that give this butterfly its name. These eyes must appear very threatening to predators, such as mice. The underside is a different matter altogether, being almost black, providing perfect camouflage when the butterfly is at rest on a tree trunk, or when hibernating. In addition to camouflage and large eyes, the butterfly is able to make a hissing sound by rubbing its wings together that is audible to human ears.

The black spikey caterpillars feed on nettles. The adult butterfly may be seen at any time of the year, with warm weather waking them from hibernation. The majority emerge from hibernation at the end of March and beginning of April. These mate and ultimately give rise to the next generation that emerges at the end of July.
