The Yamfly
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
The Yamfly is a small but conspicuous butterfly which shares the same habitat with the prettier Branded Imperial. Indeed, both species feed on young shoots of the jungle creeper, Smilax, and can usually be found not far from their host plant.
The Yamfly is reddish orange on the upperside, with a black apical border on the forewings. The underside is orange yellow with some obscure markings. The tails are tipped with white and twirl in slight breeze, in the hope of fooling predators that this is the head of the butterfly. |

Hola Shirley, una fotografia muy bonita, color y composición, creo que ganaria si la pudieras saturar y darle mas luz. Un saludo

What a marvellous captuer, Shirley!! It's so beautiful this butterfly and rarely seen. I really like a lot the vertical composition. Very good sharpness with good details and exposure too.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Best regards
Maite
Hello Shirley,
A really beautiful butterfly!
I love the colour and the tapered wings which are captured with great sharpness and detail.
It shows up very well oagainst the blurred b/g.
