The First Emerald - _TNY_3114

Yesterday I posted a shot of a emerald peacock (Papilio palinurus) that a young girl found at the Haga Ocean butterfly house for me after I first showed her one. This is the one I showed her first, resting on the side of a tree.

 

The green colour is iridescent and quite tricky to capture in a photo. Depending on the light, it can be a pale cool green or very yellowy deep.
