Leaf Mimic - _TNY_8261
A rather close shot of a butterfly known as the autumn leaf (Doleschallia bisaltide) and also known as the leafwing.
With the wings folded up it really look like a dead leaf, but for me, this one, which I fould at the Haga Ocean Butterfly House, just wanted to sit with the wings open like this.
I have another shot of this butterfly, taken with a wide angle macro lens here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52158294196/ and a BTS shot showing how ridiculously close you need to get wit that lens here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52158533169/
