Here is a closeup on a rather striking leafwing butterfly drinking from a pineapple at the Haga Ocean butterfly house.
The species is known as the pearl emperor (Charaxes varanes) and other names include Karkloof emperor and pearl charaxes.
It didn't was to leave the pinapple chunk so I never got to photograph (or even see) the dorsal side of the wings which made identification difficult, but I got help from a friendly Redditor who recognised it. Hopefully I'l be able to snap a shot of the white and orange dorsal side later, though I read they really prefer to sit with their wings closed.

This is the one of the first shots from when I tried using my Laowa 15mm f/4 Macro lens. As the "15mm" part implies this is a wide angle macro lens and I'm hoping it will offer some new views compared to normal macro lenses.
Part 1 here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52158294196/
For two BTS shots of how insanely close you need to get to the subject, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52158533169/ and here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52329566739/ - This is the resulting shot of that framing! Looking at the lens in that shot, I can tell that this shot was taken at f/11 and 0.4:1 magnification.
The subject here is an autumn leaf (Doleschallia bisaltide), also known as the leafwing. With the wings folded up it really look like a dead leaf, but for me, it just wanted to sit with the wings open like this.

I'm a tree peacock. My own creature. It follows people in the forest, and when it is on the risk of being seen it just drop its leafwings. Genious.

From Wikipedia:
Kallima paralekta, commonly known as the Indian Leafwing or the Malayan Leafwing, is a species of brush-footed butterfly of the genus Kallima. Despite its common names, it is not found in India or Malaysia, but is endemic to Java and Sumatra of Indonesia. Like other members of its genus, it is remarkable for its strong resemblance to a dead leaf when its wings are folded. It was one of the species encountered by the British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace in his travels in maritime Southeast Asia. It is mentioned in his famous 19th-century work The Malay Archipelago as one of the best examples of protective camouflage achieved through natural selection.
They are called brush-footed butterflies or four-footed butterflies, because they are known to stand on only four legs while the other two legs are curled up; in some species these forelegs have a brush-like set of hairs which gives this Nymphalidae family its other common name.
(Anaea andria). Deep East Texas.
I spotted this freshly emerged leafwing as it struggled to take its first flight in our back yard. The camouflage of the leafwings is truly remarkable, and I never would have seen it if I hadn't seen it flash the bright orange of the inside of its wings.

The Autumn Leafwing is one of the most beautiful butterflies. When it's wings are lifted, they can resemble the shape of a pair of lips as demonstrated here :)
