Yesterday or the day before yesterday I saw a Red Admiral on TN. I was very excited to see such a beautiful butterfly and I loved to see the colorful patterns on the wings. But later I found from my archive that I had captured some sort of Admiral too. It is called the Blue Admiral. Though my admiral is not as beautiful or handsome as the Red Admiral, he is also an admiral in spite of different colors. Anyhow they are both admirals and of the same rank.

The Blue Admiral (Kaniska canace) is the only species of the genus, Kaniska, a nymphalid butterfly found in Australasia / Indomalaya ecozone. The distribution extends from Malaysia to India and China. But you can also meet this butterfly in the Palaearctic (Asia) (Russia and Japan). The first description was in 1763 by Linnaeus. The wingspan is about 6.0 – 7.0 cm. This butterfly is a member of the family NYMPHALIDAE.
Description
The fore wings are black. The outer edge is wavy. In the wing tip there is a little white spot. At the wing leading edge there is a blue or white spot. At the outer edge there is a blue band.
The underside of Nymphalis canace is black and brown.
The hind wings of Nymphalis canace are black. The outer edge is strongly wavy. The wing is dominated by a broad, blue band. This band contains a chain of tiny black spots. At the outer edge there is a thin blue line.
The underside is black and brown.
The body is black.
Sex differences: None.

Hello John,
Altough not the whole butterfly is totally sharp, this is a nice macro in beautiful natural colours with a nice blurred background and taken from a good POV.
Regards,
Peter
