No designer could invent such perfection…dressed for a ball….elegance in simplicity of colours.I love the way they pose for you, Richard. This is great macro… Rosa
Mil gracias Rosa. Creo que si es una de las mariposas mas elegantes que he visto en mi vida, y con solo 2 colores :-)
This butterfly must be used to pose for photographers. Such excellent details in this capture and a perfect pose!
Thanks Eivor, it seemed quite content to let me take its photo. Most of the butterflies in the exhibit would just tease me and then fly away at the precise moment I clicked the shutter.

Thank you Lina. I think this one was happy to pose for me, and I even think I heard her say “I am beautiful, aren’t I”?
