This is usually one of our common summer butterflies, last year there were only six on my patch, this is the only one of two I have seen this year. This summer looks as though it will be equally wet as last year so I reckon this spells disaster for butterflies around here.

All comments welcome.

Thank you very much for your kind comments they are much appreciated.

At first blush, one might be disappointed that the head isn't visible, but I love this view because
it accentuates the extremely colorful and detailed wing. The texture of the branch and bokeh are pluses.
Well done!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Lovely texture and colour on the moth. Like how the bokeh is going vertically. Congratulations.

[Fabs Forns]

Very impressive, well deserved.

[Sabyasachi Patra]
