Orange Oakleaf 枯葉蝶

The Orange Oakleaf or Dead Leaf (Kallima inachus) is a nymphalid butterfly found in tropical Asia from India to Japan. With wings closed, it closely resembles a dry leaf with dark veins and is a spectacular example of camouflage. My previous post is from the bottom and this one is from the top. Lust love its wing reflecting under the sun.
