I took this image during a visit to the Butterfly garden in Knokke Belgium.

Chilasa clytia.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Form dissimilis, Doubleday differs from the first form as follows: Upperside, forewing: cell with four streaks coalescent at base and four spots beyond at apex, a long streak in interspace 1a, two streaks with two spots beyond which are more or less coalescent with them in interspace 1, a broad streak with an outwardly emarginate spot in interspace 2, similar spots, one at base and one beyond, in 3, a single similar spot in 4, elongate streaks in 5 and 6, and much smaller elongate spots in interspaces 8 and 9. All these streaks and spots cream-white with diffuse edges; subterminal and terminal markings as in the first form. Hindwing: markings similar to those in the first form with the following differences: discoidal cell entirely white, discal white streaks longer that reach quite up to the outer margin of the cell and are continued anteriorly to the costa by elongate streaks in interspaces 6 and 7, two spots in interspace 8 and a slender streak along the costa; the subterminal and terminal markings as in the first form. Underside similar to the upperside, the cream-white markings slightly larger, the terminal series of yellow spots on the hindwing as in the first form. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen as in the typical clytia form; the head, thorax and abdomen with more prominent white spots.

Hi John.
You have picture a very cute butterfly. We have not butterfly garden. My butterfly garden is my fruit garden in countryside and its surroundings. Wonderful composition and pleasant colours, excellent blurriness of the charming BG. Crisp sharpness of the leaves and main part of the butterfly. DOF is shallow a little bit but I see light condition was very poor. My compliments and TFS. Very well done.
Alexei.

salut john,
jolie image tout en contraste de couleurs, le noir et blanc sur l'ensemble vert est interessant. J'aime aussi le point de vue original avec cette prise par dessus, on y perd ses repères.

A very beautiful butterfly.The colours are bright and vivid.

Hi John, this is a good presentation of this butterfly. The leaf it is on and the front of the butterfly are in perfect focus, the back of the butterfly is maybe a tad soft. Colour and exposure are great with a very good composition.

Thanks, John

Hi an unusal POV, but well executed and the colors are natural. The head of the butterfly is sharp and the exposure is spot on

Hi John,
A beautiful capture of this lime swallowtail. Very odd but nice POV with very good details and composition. Thanks a lot for sharing.

bonjour john
le POV n'est pas commun mais j'aime bien de plus les couleurs sont belles avec un bon contraste.
juste un peu plus de profondeur de champ aurait été bien IMHO.

Hello John,
Very nice close up.POV,lighting,details,colors also a lot.TFS

Hi John,
Well focused and sharp where it must be at the head. Excellent colors and exposure, nice soft BG. Those b-fly house's are difficult environments for the photographer.
Well done,
Howard

Hi John,
pleasantly well lighted and nicely taken form an unusual point of view, this cute exotic swallowtail looks very attractive with its strikingly clear markings, clinging to that well detailed leaf by its fragile legs. Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter

fraaie foto John.
het zijn prachtige vlinders en zeker als ze blijven zitten.
Ik heb een tip voor de scherpte diepte. f4,2 is een beetje laag. maak hier f14-f15 van met een snelheid van 1/80, gebruik de flits en U zult versteld staan. mooi fotowerk John.
groet Jaap

Hello John. It is really nice that you drop by my gallery here in TN and giving me the opportunity for the return visit. Your collection here as brilliant as those in TE. Congratulations. This is a nice shot from a unique angle of a butterfly. Good sharpness in a beautiful perch on that leaves. Well muted pleasant green background and nicely framed as always. Thanks for sharing this one and a very nice day to you. Best regards. Jusni
