Glasswing Butterfly, Acraea andromacha, photographed at my home, Batemans Bay on the south
coast of New South Wales, Australia.

Another of those beauties that prefer the highest point of the Buddleja, rarely at an angle to obtain a shot
for positive identification.

On a prolonged visit, I was at last able to get a few “keepers”. Thank you all for viewing, I hope the images
give you as much pleasure as the captures have given me :)

I have always enjoyed photography and love the scope that a digital camera allows. I am retired, approaching threescore years and ten. The world around me provides endless photographic opportunities, from the abundance of nature in my own backyard to historic destinations around the world.

    Yes, great shot through the wings Trish.

  • Michael, thank you !
    I wasn’t sure about this shot at first, but decided I liked the clear view through the left forewing while the right reflected the sun from it’s “glassy” surface.
