This 'Autumn Leaf' butterfly [Doleschallia bisaltide] was hanging under the leaf, fortunately, I saw it.......

More information on this butterfly:

Race malabarica, Fruhstorfer.— Males and females underside yellowish brown, paling anteriorly to rich golden yellow on the fore wing, shading anteriorly into dusky brown on the hind wing. Forewing: the apical half black, following a line from vein 12 opposite the Discocellulars, passing through apex of cell, obliquely across middle of interspace 3 and curving down to tornus ; a black spot near apex of cell coalescing with the inner margin of 1he black colour; a short, very oblique, broad golden-yellow band, broader in the female than in the male, from middle of costal margin to interspace 5; a spot beyond in line with it in interspace 4; two, sometimes three, minute, preapical white specks; the cilia fulvous, touched with white, anteriorly. Hind wing uniform ; the costal margin broadly as noted above, a subterminal narrow band and narrower terminal line posteriorly, dusky black; a postdiscal black spot in interspaces 2 and 5 respectively; the cilia fulvous. Underside very variable, closely resembling a dry leaf. No two specimens are ever alike. The ground-colour varies from reddish to dark greenish brown with irrorations of greyish and black scales; apex of the fore and the terminal margin posteriorly of the hind wing more or less lilacine; fore and hind wings crossed by a dark narrow discal fascia, generally bordered on the inner side by a greyish line; this fascia bent inwards at right angles above vein 6 of the forewing and in most specimens, bordered internally by a diffuse pale patch and externally by an oblique whitish mark, beyond which is a subcostal white spot, followed by a transverse sinuous postdiscal series of obscure ocelli crossing both wings, each ocellus centred by a minute dot, white on the fore, black on the hind wing. In the male there are generally, but not invariably, a number of whitish spots on the basal areas of both wings. Antennae blackish brown, ochraceous at apex ; head, thorax and abdomen dark fulvous brown; beneath, the palpi white, the thorax and abdomen pale brown

Benyamin this is a beautifully presented image of this butterfly.

Lovely lighting and a very special OOF background.

Excellent.

Hi Benyamin,
Nice POV of the subject. Nicely presented and a good DOF and sharpness.

Hello Ben,
This is a funny capture from this upside-down little one! I have never seen a butterfly do that :) This is a very nice composition with superb colors and beautiful BG. Well done,

hello benyamin
whats a beautiful and interesting butterfly and wonderful close-up working
i like composition, point of view, blurred background, lighting, colours, sharpness, details and framing
thanks for sharing
regards
izler

Presenting him upside down does catch attention. I can see where this butterfly (or as the kids call them "flutterbys") could be hard to detect among dead leaves. Great camouflage. I like your photo with the a strong simple composition, perfect depth of focus, exposure and nice natural color.

Hello Benyamin

A nicely captured brown butterfly.Many species of butterfly perch in this manner waiting for the opposite sex to fly by.The composition is well done,with sharp details and focus.The colours are well saturated with a beautiful OOF BG.TFS

Benyamin, I would love to see different POV. Not a bad shot but the butterfly would have been better visiblity in different position. Ganesh

Funny shot. I like it and welcome it so much. It is true nature scene and you have pictured it very well. DOF and POV, composition and quality of reproduction of the butterfly and leaf are perfect. BG is amazing too. My best wishes and TFS.

Witaj!
Ciekawe ujecie tego motylka, tak sobie wisi do gory nozkami, jakby byl przyklejony do tegoz listka. Piekne kolory, szczegoly. Już motyl sam w sobie jest piekny.

Gratuluje
Etka
