This shot reminds me of a plane waiting for the go ahead to take off...lol

Anyways this is a Malachite belonging to the brush-footed butterfly family,

The Nymphalidae is a family of about 5,000 species of butterflies.

These are typically fairly large butterflies, such as the emperor, admirals, tortoiseshells and fritillaries, which have very colourful wings. However, the underwings are dull and often look like dead leaves, which produces a cryptic effect that helps the butterfly disappear in its surroundings.

The front two legs are small, so these butterflies are effectively four-legged. The caterpillars are hairy or spiky, and the chrysalids have shiny spots.

For more info on this butterfly Look Here at my prevoius photo :)Malachite
