[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The true butterflies (Papilionoidea) are divided into families as follows: Pieridae, the whites and sulfurs, known for their mass migrations; Papilionidae, the swallowtails and Parnassians (the latter sometimes considered a separate family, Parnassiidae); Lycaenidae, including the blues, coppers, hairstreaks, and gossamer-winged butterflies; Riodinidae, the metalmarks, found chiefly in the American tropics; Libytheidae, the snout butterflies; and Nymphalidae, called the nymphalid butterflies, the largest and most diverse family (divided by some authorities into several families), which includes such popular butterflies as the admirals, fritillaries, monarchs, zebras, emigrants and painted ladies._
This is a picture of Mottled Emigrant butterfly. I took this picture in Butterfly Park situated in Bannerghatta National Park situated near Bangalore. The butterfly is sucking nectar from a flower. This is a handheld shot. I used Nikon D-200 camera and nikor 28-105mm lens, which has built in macro.

Hi Arjun,
Very nice shot of this lovely butterfly. The details are good and the dark bg sets off the colour of the butterfly very well. TFS.
Cheers, Uma

I love the Sulfurs but they are hard to stalk-this is just beautiful and shows all their little subtle details. Great shot.

Hello Arjun! Beautiful colors. Good contrast. Nice capture. Well done!
