With a White Band - TNY_2451 (Colobura dirce)
I decided to visit the (sort of) local butterfly house (the Haga Butterfly House in Stockholm Sweden) in late March as the chance of finding invertebrates otherwise then is pretty slim.
They have a no flash policy there and since the camera I was using at the time (2019) really could be better at handling high-ISO photography, I instead borrowed my brother's Canon 6D since it handles this better.
This little beauty is actually called just that - the dirce beauty (Colobura dirce). It is also known as the mosaic or zebra mosaic - names not overly difficult to see the reason for.
