Hide and seek ....
This Common Brimstone was hiding in the bushes. I saw it flying in there, otherwise I would not have noticed it, I think.
It's something else then the complete butterfly and shows something about the natures capabilities of mimicry (hope it is the correct word for this.)

Exposure time 1/200 s
F-number f/14
Exposure program Manual
ISO speed ratings ISO 100
Flash Twin flash gadget infinity
Focal length 180 mm

C&C as always welcome.

It's certainly a master in camouflage. Nice shot, I like it.

LOL, great shot! I remember spending about 10 minutes looking for a brimstone that flew into a bush in my garden and in the end it was my sharp-eyed daughter who found it. This picture says it all.
