Another of our lycaenidas but cheerful and vivacious. Already I had published another in last days, but that was put down in the earth. I wanted to publish this because me seems "the classical butterfly in the flower"... Me seems that these poky insects are absolute miracles with wings, that cheer up the day, that do that one a bit still one is been and it watches them, and that achieve that one thinks a bit in God and it wonders as it does he to place so much life in an organism so small.

I expect that likes them,

Greetings

Thank you for visiting!

Hello Jesus.
Outstanding shot of this tiny and beautiful Leptotes cassius .This little butterfly is beautiful.Sharp and crisp with lots of detail.The composition is great.Nice light and lovely colours.
Best regards Siggi

Óla Jesús,

Fantastic macro shot of the tiny butterfly!
The colors are beautifully shown, and the sharpness and POV are just wonderful. The eye is very well shown. The flower is another hidden beauty into your picture, which drastically enhances the beauty of the capture and also gives great contrast to the comparatively light colored butterfly.
Wonderful composition!

thanks and regards,
Paras Bhalla

hello Jesus,
A vey poetical and fine picture. These two wonderful creatures compliment eachothers in a fascinating way. The pose of Papilo cassius is soo cute! The darker background fits well to the lighter colors of flower and butterfly.
Thanks and kind regards

Preciosa Jesús. Delicadeza en las formas y sobre todo en los colores. Gran y preciso enfoque a la pequeña mariposa. Denota todo el conjunto una gran sensibilidad del fotógrafo !!!
Yo no es que crea en Dios, pero al ver estas maravillas desde luego que me paro a pensar ...
