[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We have a lot of insects flying around this time of the year, especially with the good rains that we had. I was fortunate to shoot this Two Pip Ploiceman or Coeliades pisistratus. Wingspan 45 - 55mm; Wings greyish brown underneath with broad white band and three black spots; Orange fringe on tail of hind wings; Fast powerful flyer, most active in early morning; Habitat : usually edges of rain forest or coastal bush.

Very good photo Andre!
Never saw this specie.
Excellent on colours, details and DOF!
Also a very good POV and BG!
5* and TFS!

Hi Andre.
I really like your photo. It is sharp where it needs to be and clear. The DOF is just right. The colours on the this insect are really good. Is it a moth or a butterfly?
regards
Matt.
