The white peacock (''Anartia jatrophae'') is a species of butterfly found in the southeastern United States, Central America, and throughout much of South America. The males of the species display a unique territorial behavior, in which they stake out a territory typically 15 meters in diameter that contains larval host plants. They perch in this area and aggressively protect it from other insects and other male white peacocks.〔Melissa A. Barger, Daniel J. Madigan, Timothy R. Matsuura and Chad M.
