The Peacock Butterfly (Aglais io L.) Filming VarWild

Southern France
"The Peacock Butterfly flies in two generations in the Midi between the end of May and November,"
In the United Kingdom, the Peacock usually flew with just one annual brood.
I thought there were some, really very good clips, of the female egg laying and wasp predation of caterpillars.
I saw no bird predation of caterpillar clips.
It looked to me like there was some courtship (or affectionate behaviour), not mating.
"As soon as the temperature rises above 17˚C, the Peacock butterfly comes out of it's winter shelter"
For an exactness of science, I thought that a specifically local micro-climatic temperature, needed to be stated, and clearly defined as that, as some butterflies hibernated in cool caves, while it might have been much warmer, as stated on the BBC weather App (a more general air temperature).
Wing beat noise and hissing noise to scare some predators, might have been there or clearer.
Kind Regards.
