A good find Ivan.
The subtle colours in the wings here have surprising impact when the light catches them just right.

Hi Ivan,

You must have been thrilled to get this rare shot! She really is a beautiful butterfly. A lovely position showing off the wonderful colors and fine details of the wings. Unusual to hear the female is more beautiful than the male!

Hi, Ivan.
A beautiful butterfly, and the lighting picks out the blue iridescence very nicely. The workshop is useful for ID purposes, also - thanks. There is a tiny mis-spelling of the English name ;)
Regards, Nigel.

Hi Ivan,

A great shot, focus and dof spot on, colours and background really combine to make a great shot. The iredescent on the wings shows well. It sad that this species is under threat. Your mangaged to get a good shot all the same.

Hello Ivan,
It's a beautiful species indeed. I have never seen it before. I wonder why this species is threatened? Is it because of habitat loss? Details, colours and exposure are all perfect here.
Best greetings and TFS!
