Hebomoia Glaucippe
The horn of the butterflies:
It occurs a rather spectacular phenomenon to the whole beginning from the life from the butterflies. When it leaves its chrysalis, a butterfly has two horns, one just beside the other one. As soon as it is put in position to deploy its wings and to make them dry, the butterfly does not stop deploying and bringing back its two horns, without interruption.
Because of the friction of its two horns, they will be welded one with the other to give only one horn. This phenomenon is nevertheless rather remarkable, quite as remarkable as the way in which a butterfly manages to make a perfect circle with its horn.

Bonjour Jannette,
surperbe ultra macro avec des détails tout à fait surprenant. Très belle harmonie de couleurs. Juste la partie droite un peu trop présente.
bravo
