I agree with you on two counts...

One, this is a Dryas Julia... you can tell from the red stripe at the bottom of the wing near the abdomen.

Two, you have the underside of the wing.

However, under the wing implies under the butterfly which this is not. :) LOL!!

Here is a picture under the butterfly that I've taken of this species:

A profile like yours that is my personal favorite of all butterfly images I've ever taken:

Hi ManYee

Definitely the same species. I also posted one of these a little while ago (Fire in the Butterfly house) and also had some shots with its wings closed and it has the exact same shape, patterns, colours, and wing size (longwings).

The horizontal composition worked well for this shot and you have captured the insect with lovely sharp details and excellent colour rendition. I especially love the spotted detail of the eye. The DOF was spot-on and the lighting was well controlled.

Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi again Manyee,
What more can I say that hasn't already been said about this beautiful and perfect capture, great colors and sharp detail, but what I like how both leaf and butterfly fill this image with the soft green background. Super image. TFS
