Très beau papillon aux ailes dentelées et aux couleurs de feuilles mortes, certainement pour mieux se camoufler !

Nico.

Great capture of an amazing creature. Well done, Christophe. I like how there is just a hint of the richer color of the top of the wings.

Bravo, superbe photo!
Bien composée avec une très bonne mise au point.

Hi Christophe!

Pity that we don't see inner side of wings. But even without it this butterfly looks great! Very detailed patterns, brown colours look like bark. Good composition.

Great shot. Neat butterfly. It would be nice at home on the bark of a tree.

I like the way the light has brightened up the back wing.
