Hi JeanPierere,
Lovely image of this one, which for you opened its wings completely to show how beautiful it is. what a great design by nature. The image is colorful, sharp and with pleasing BG. Vertical frame would have avoided the dried leaf/stem (right side). TFS

Bonjour JeanPierre,
this is a nice picture and specimen of a female Junonia andremiaja (Family: Nymphalidae).
The male looks quite different and is even spectacular. I could observe the species at several sites in Madagascar.
Best wishes, Peter

great composition and contrast of colours!
