Oooohhh, Nasos, this butterfly is wonderful and very special.
I never saw a butterfly with such long tails - you are lucky to see this one and capture it.
I like it, thanks and greetings

Hi Nasos,

fascinating capture, I would love to see that pretty species in nature, too! Looking very much like an exotic longtailed butterfly it is in fact a "net-winged insect" of the Neuroptera order: "Nemoptera sinuata".

Image is well composed, but looking a bit blurred and also bit overexposed. Nevertheless, the encounter with that graceful insect is certainly worth to be documented and to be shared here. Welcome to TN!

With best regards,
Peter
