In the post's caption, Will and Kate (opens in new tab) shared information about Big Butterfly Count and the important role butterflies play in the environment:
"We wanted to share these beautiful Peacock and Red Admiral butterflies as part of Big #ButterflyCount initiative taking place across the UK.
@savebutterflies are encouraging us all to count these incredible creatures because not only are they beautiful creatures to be around but they are also extremely important. Butterflies are vital parts of the ecosystem as both pollinators and components of the food chain.
Hopefully you can beat last year's total, @savebutterflies 🦋"
