Rice Paper : Backlit . . .

This image is included in 4 galleries :- 1) "Exposición Siabala V. Austellung" curated by Luis Siabala Valer and 3 galleries "Photo Gallery" by Ryan Miller/Walker.

 

This was taken at the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Parks near the Niagara Falls in Canada. It is also known as large tree nymph. A member of the Danaidae family, the Rice Paper is related to the well known Monarch. Numerous names and folklore tales were inspired by the graceful ghost-like flight of this butterfly throughout the canopy of coastal mangrove swamps in South East Asia. (Sourced from the booklet from the Butterfly Conservatory).

 

It does exhibit a texture like rice paper when backlit !!
