Description

Please zoom to see it's beautiful wings and colouring. NOTE: You guys should get a laugh over the fact that I have just poured over butterfly photos on various websites for OVER 2 HOURS to try and find out what sort it is. I was lucky enough to be able to identify the species as an Ambrax Swallowtail (go on Google it!!) My eyes are sore now!

This is amazing. So crisp. I love the fact that you caught individual wing-scales. I love those things even though they can come off in your hand and look like eyeshadow. The colors are astounding! As always, great work. Really top-notch stuff.
