Hid Away - _TNY_5876
Since I have visited the Haga Ocean butterfly house quite a lot of times by now, I have picked up a little extra skill at finding the butterflies there.
This yellow-edged giant owl butterfly (Caligo atreus) was quite high up on the trunk of a tree so most other visitors just walked by it, even while I was setting up my camera and tripod to shoot it.
This species is basically the pale giant own butterfly (Caligo memnon) with the colour saturation cranked up to 11.
Unfortunately for me, they rarely sit with their wings open so the orange and blue of the dorsal side is only rarely seen.
