[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Dryas julia (syn: Dryas iulia), also known as the Julia butterfly or Julia Heliconian, is a species of butterfly (an insect). The sole representative of its genus, the Julia is native from Brazil to southern Texas and Florida, and in summer can sometimes be found as far north as eastern Nebraska. Its wingspan ranges from 82 to 92 mm, and it is colored orange (brighter in male specimens) with black markings.

It feeds on the nectar of flowers including lantana and shepherd's needle, and its caterpillars form hosts in passion vines including Passiflora affinis and Passiflora lutea (the yellow passionvine) in Texas. The Julia is a fast flier and frequents clearings, paths, and margins of forests and woodlands. Over 15 subspecies have been described.

Hello Chris

Very interesting pov you have on this beauty. Nice sharpness and very good dof to set off the butterfly. The green background also contributes very good to the orange colours on the butterfly. Very good composition with the diagonal lines.

Hello Chris,
Dynamic framing!
I'm amazed by the sharpness and details you get from your 350D, and the colour contrast here is most eye-catching...
Interesting point of view and very well done again, my friend!

Hello Chris,

What a great position for this colorful butterfly! I like very much your composition! The green blurred bg enhances very well the insect! I'm surprised to see its tongue against the leaf... Great pov, dov and exposure! TFS!
