interesting colors nice focus. i'd sharpen the tail end of the wings a bit.

Hello Juan
Interesting adaptation you captured here. Image quality is excellent, sharp and nicely saturated. The cropping is a bit tight on lower right for my taste. Thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Greg

Hello Juan,
I think that this butterfly could easily be confusing for predators as at first; I couldn’t know myself where its head was or how many heads it has…

Nature is so amazing from its diversity and organization and this is a beautiful example. Thanks for having sharing this interesting one!
