[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The beautiful Blue Clipper (Parthenos sylvia lilacinus) is a large butterfly that inhabits the forests of south-east Asia. It has a winspan of around 10cm.

I shot this one in the Phuket Butterfly Park, where there was quite a good variety of local species on display.
