Season's Greetings to you and your family & friends.

Striped Tiger
Danaus genutia genutia (Cramer)
Danaidae family
wingspan: 75-95 mm.

This Stipped Tiger, popularly known as the Monarch Buttefly all over the world, here visiting the flowers, Common Floss (Chromolaena odorata). In fact lot of butterflies visit these flowers and with lots of patience and determination one can capture them in the morning hours.
I have chosen this image for the bright colors of the butterfly, good sunlight and flowers, which almost looks like spring season. I know that few of our friends are forced to spend indoors because of heavy snowfall and hope this image makes them bit warm.

Hi Nagaraj,
Lovely macro shot.I liked POV,vivid colors,details,lighting and composition are excellent.

Hello Nagraj,

A fine composition, beautiful colors. The butterfly looks very similar to the American Monarch, just minor differences in the wing markings.
