What are the most beautiful butterflies in the world?
Thursday, 19 February 2026
Now, there is a question and I would guess the answer is very much down to the tastes of the individual responder. Sometimes the plainest of butterflies can be a person’s favorite, and so considered the most beautiful in ways other than those which greet the eye. This fascinating video covers a number of butterflies, all of which are quite stunning.
We have featured a few on Arkinspace before – such as the
amazing glasswing – and that species is on this particular list too. This list features the Top 20, including the
Island Marble, linked closely to the San Juan island area in Washington State.
Then there is the Peacock with its amazing eyespots. Then there is the ulyss, with its iridescent blue
markings. My own is the Anna's eighty-eight, which does exactly what is says on
the packet.
Of course, there are another 16 on this list, beautifully created by 4 Ever Green, besides those
mentioned above. Will your favorite be on it? Watch the full video below and
find out.
