I reckon Red Admiral and Peacock are as spectacular as any butterflies in the world.
Other suggestions?

I have often said this myself Jack. Red Admirals in particular are stunners. However, it's difficult to pull 'the brain apart' and disassociate past experience of knowing how difficult a species is to see, and also, where you hold it in your memory.Jack Harrison wrote:Just imagine how we would twitch this beautiful butterfly if it were rare.

Depends on your definition of spectacularJack Harrison wrote:... lovely as the Orange Tip is, it isn’t really in the spectacular category ...
Looking at todays weather, that'll probably be April 2011 then.Rogerdodge wrote:The one I am hoping to see next.
Yes, agreed. I go quite weak-kneed when I see one. I think it's because they are so unique. No other British butterfly is leaf-like, and though Brimstones are widespread, you can never rely upon seeing one anywhere, so any sighting at all is regarded as a welcome bonus.A_T wrote:Brimstones are one of my favourites. The sheer elegance of the shape and intricate markings. The male as brilliant as the female is understated.
