[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I do not feel this shot is a photographic masterpiece but I wanted to show the effectiveness of the clouded yellow's mimicry. It stays motionless amongst yellowish undergrowth and is practically invisible until it actually flits away. This is the closest this specimen would allow me to approach.

A pretty good shot, Mark.
The way the clouded yellow conceals itself is remarkable and your picture proves that point.
