Peacock oddity.

When the sun finally broke through around oneish ,i decided to have a quick look in my local woodland (Orlestone forest ,Kent ) after a tip off ,that a nice abberant Comma had been found along one of the rides ,the day before ....................no joy on that one ! but i did see several
Green veins and small Whites ,2 Brimstone ,2 Commas (standard !),2 Speckled Woods ,1 Small Heath ,1 Red Admiral and 5 Peacocks ,amongst them was this very odd deformed specimen ,which i at first thought had its hind wing missing ,but it is present but very tiny ............on an otherwise perfect insect.
