[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have little time tonight. So the choice is between posting a shot or spending time on looking at images on TN. I decided to post this butterfly shot made in the Berkenhof butterfly garden.
It is a Dryas Julia. I sound like an expert but I just have a good book on butterflies ;-) It can be found in South- and Mid-America. Eggs are laid on several kinds of passion flowers. Caterpillars of this species are beige with a pattern of brown spots. When it has the wings closed it looks like a rotten leaf.

Shot was postprocessed with levels and a little USM.
