Another first for me. I have never seen one of these before. I had seen them in books and expected them to be much larger.
Canon 1D-II, Canon 300/4 + 36mm ext. tube.

Great Shot!
By far the best I have ever seen of this species!
I found one a couple of years ago but could not get it out in the open.

You handled the backlight very well and it makes a nice capture of one STRANGE looking butterfly.

Wow, I've never seen either. What a cool looking BF. The texture of his wing seems to mimic that of the flower. The plane of focus if perfect. I love his eye. thanks for sharing a very unusual creature.
