[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have lost exif data on this picture I took last year. It was the monsoon season when I took it.
There are some other creatures too clinging to the same perch. I wonder what these creatures are.
Here is a brief note on the species:

The Pioneer or Caper White, (Anaphaeis aurota), is a small to medium sized butterfly of the Family Pieridae, that is, the Yellows and Whites, which is found in South Asia.

Order: Lepidoptera
Family: Pieridae
Genus: Anaphaeis
Species: A. aurota
Binomial Name: Anaphaeis aurota

Ram
Wonderful capture, lovely colors, great details.

Dear Mr. Thakur,

Exceptionally well done macro capture of the Pioneer White butterfly with wonderful clarity and great details!
The colors are perfectly shown and especially, I like the textures on the wings of the butterfly. The POV and DOF are well managed.
The blurry dark colored BG is wonderful and gives great contrast to the soft colored butterfly.
Wonderful composition!

best regards,
Paras

An awesome shot Sir.Very beautifully framed. While I've seen plenty of these, I've never managed to get a presentable shot.
The dark BG adds an element of the unknown here.
Wishing you a Happy Gandhi Jayanti.
