Description

Hi there. Some of you may remember the Pupa of an unknown butterfly

. Now I know the species - it's a Map (Araschina levana). He or she was friendly and let me take some shots. I think it is too cold outside and I let the butterfly stay in my home for 2 days - now it is in our garden in a carport and wait for better and warmer weather. Hope the sun will give him better conditions to fly and find some flowers.

Wow! Well done Markus! Such detail - interesting to see the natural pixelation of the scales on the wings. Stunning! Clive

Dude, you need to submit this stuff to stock photography like gettyimages.com- this is some seriuos nature and science photography that will make you money for licensing- like 200-600 dollar range for each usage right.
