Suddenly Not Dark Anymore - _TNY_1670

The yellow-edged giant owl butterfly (Caligo atreus) is the prettier, more saturated cousin of the pale giant owl butterfly (Caligo memnon).

 

When visiting the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna on the north side of Stockholm, Sweden, THere were as usual quite a few of the pale variety there.

 

In a shadowy corner, I however managed to find this C. atreus hiding and since I was using a tripod, I could set shutter time accordingly and the end result really tells nothing about how dark it actually was there.
