Hello Mike,
Fine capture of a male Archduke with pretty good sharpness, the Dof reaching almost to the antennae from this POV. Simple and pleasing composition involving the forest floor where you made good use of the limited light availability.
TFs and best wishes, Ivan

What a beautiful and unusual butterfly, Mike.
I love those pastel colors at the bottom.
Sharp details and excellent POV.
