Description


[best viewed full sized] This shot was taken at Studley Grange Butterfly Park near Swindon on Tuesday whilst out shooting with Chrissy, aka BibbyBear, and Danny, aka danob. We had traveled down to Swindon from North Wales as Danny had kindly offered to advise Chrissy on the buying of her new camera. We had just enough time after lunch to go the butterfly park, where Danny is a member, and get an hours worth of shots in. I cant remember the name of this butterfly and am having trouble identifying it because its wings are closed, but if anyone knows then please tell me. Thanks for looking and any comments and critique are more than welcome! edit note: thanks to Danny (danob) for the butty ID. Zebra Longwing.

Well I have to say, I liked this shot very much on your computer when you showed me, but I love it on my monitor (obviously my eyes are more adjusted to my own screen settings!!) This is brilliant Carl, the colours, composition, lighting and textures are fantastic but the focus on this little guys face and eyes is spot on! I can't help you with the name of the butty I'm afraid, but I'm sure there will be someone out there who can. Huge hugs babe xox

Well done Carl so glad you and Chrissy enjoyed the day.. You are forgetful lol... This is a member of the Heliconius species often called the Zebra longwing it eats pollen and nectar which is unique so it is able to live for up to six months one reason there were so many nice species there and the ones we saw mating..
