[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
During our trip to Omkar hills last mont we noticed a newly emerged Blue Pansy (Junonia orithya), which was still stiff from its slumber and the sun had not energized its wings yet, it gave us an ample opportunity to take pictures with its wings closed, which is rare.

The Blue Pansy (Junonia orithya) is a Nymphalid butterfly of South Asia which occurs in open areas, often sitting on bare ground. This species has a stiff flap and glide style of flight and maintains a territory driving away other butterflies that may enter it.

Hello Goutham,
An excellent capture of this fresh specimen in a fine composition. Sharp details of the wing markings and good focus on the eye. I like the way it stands out fromthe background too.
TFS and regards, Ulla
