Peacock Butterfly is one of the most beautiful looking things in the game and they can earn you up to a whopping amount of 2,500 Bells just for catching one. This means that there is a pretty penny associated with catching these critters.

The Peacock Butterfly will not, however, spawn randomly in your village, it has a specific place and time for which you will have to wait patiently.

The Peacock Butterfly only comes around in the month of March to June in the northern hemisphere, and from September to December in the southern hemisphere.
