[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another Common Crow shot from my last trip.

The Common Crow (Euploea core) is a common butterfly found in South Asia. In India it is also sometimes referred to as the Common Indian Crow, and in Australia as the Australian Crow. It belongs to the Crows and Tigers subfamily of the Nymphalidae (Brushfooted butterflies).

The Common Crow is the most common representative of its genus Euploea. Like the Tigers (Danaus spp), the Crows are inedible and thus mimicked by other Indian butterflies (see Batesian mimicry). In addition, the Indian species of the Euploea genus shows another kind of mimicry, Müllerian mimicry. Accordingly, this species has been studied in greater detail than other members of its genus in India.

Hello Atanu,
The POV, sharpness and composition are excellent in this open-wing capture of a Common Crow butterfly and it contrasts so well against the leafy BG, all of which make this a fine illustration of the species.
TFS this beauty,
Best wishes,
Ivan
