So this is a psychedelic butterfly with changing wing colours Greg? How exciting for you, and you do show him well. I like the yellow bands it has on its arms too, quite different! Good shot my friend.

16C here and when the sun is out it gets even warmer!

Congrats Greg, this is an excellent butterfly shot. I wish it would be mine. I never saw this beautiful butterfly. Excellent sharpness, great colours, lighting and great POV too. I like it very much. Thank you for posting.

I find one side of its wings brown and the other blue, Greg. Maybe something to do with my laptop monitor. How I hate these screens, but what to do? You can't carry your desktops with you! I am in transit at the moment, heading towards India.
Maybe because of the dual colours I can see in this butterfly, I guess I like it better that way.
Take care and bye.

At first I thought it was David Bowie´s butterfly :)
I have seen this changing textures on common blues or small buttelflies, but not a blue reflection on a brown middle sized like this one. My first time too.
And quality is not that bad... what I am not sure if it was your cam or your hand what did not work well over 40ºC :DD
Reagards. :)

hi Grzegorz,

yes this is an A.ilia from clytie form, the species is very common here in ROmania in lowland area close to water, specially river.

Hello Greg,
I've seen them too but they are really difficult to capture. They visit my pond for water but when you get a little closer they quickly fly away. I'm impressed that you managed to capture it. I'm impressed with your courage of going outside in this heat too ;-)
VERY WELL DONE!
