http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euploea_core

The Common Crow (Euploea core) is a glossy black butterfly with brown underside with white marks along the outer margins of the wing. The wingspan is about 8-9 cm and the body also has prominent white spots.

Upperside dark brown, broadly paler along terminal margins; Fore and hind wing with subterminal and terminal series of white spots; on fore wing the former more or less oval, curved inwards opposite apex, the latter series often incomplete, not reaching apex, the spots smaller; often there is a small costal spot, and very rarely a spot in apex of cell and one or more discal spots; on the hind wing the inner series of spots are elongate, the outer conical. Underside similar, but ground-colour more uniform; cell, costal and discal spots on both fore and hind wing nearly always present.[1]

Race godarti (=E. godarti) (Northeast India and Myanmar)


E. godartiFore wing subtriangular, tornus more rounded than in E. core. Hindwing broadly ovate. Upperside dark brown, broadly paler along the terminal margins, especially on the fore wing. Fore wing with more or less incomplete and obsolescent series of subterminal and terminal small white spots, and a powdering of violaceous-white scales at apex, varying very considerably in extent from a mere trace of violaceous between the veins to a large and very conspicuous patch occupying the whole of the apex. Hind wing with a subterminal series of oval or inwardly conical and terminal series of more rounded white spots. Underside paler brown, the white spots larger, more clearly defined. Fore wing not violaceous at apex, a spot (sometimes absent) in apex of cell, and two or three discal spots. Hindwing: a spot in apex of cell, also sometimes absent, and a discal series of five small spots beyond. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen very dark brown, and, the antennae excepted, sparsely spotted with white.

Merhaba Mustafa!
Kırmızı beyaz renkli çiçeğin üzerinde, tüm detayları kusursuzca sergilenmiş bir kelebek karesi. Kompozisyon enfes olmuş. Emeğine sağlık.

A good photo, but unfortunately no notes or description of this butterfly.

Mustafa bey selamlar,
Başarılı bir kadraj...
Alan derinliği,renk ve netlik makro değerlerde.
Işık güzel kullanılmış.
Emeğinize sağlık,

Not only the same subject but also the same source for our notes, Mustafa :).
The image is very sharp and colourful. Did you capture this in a butterfly park in London or somewhere outside?
The flowers on which it is perched also add to the beauty of your composition.
Well done and TFS.

Hallo Mustafa
Lovely display of both the butterfly and the flower. The details of the veins on the wings of the butterfly are seen with great clarity, as well as the polka dot body. The flower has an interesting shape and the colours are bright and warm. It is a pity that the flower itself is somewhat out of focus, but again on the other hand the butterfly is the main subject which is focused well. I also like how the 2 subjects are photographed like a scale, as if they are balancing one another. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards.
Anna

Merhaba Mustafa Bey,
200 mm ile nefis birçekim yapmışsınız. Çekim yaptığınız yer Londra mı? Yoksa Dover yakınında bir kelebek köyü var! O mu?. Adını unuttum şimdi:) yaşlılığıma verin:d. Harika çekmisiniz.
Elinize sağlık.
Bayram
