The Other One - _TNY_3104

In the accompanying text to the shot here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53156856476/ I mention finding another emerald peacock (Papilio palinurus) which was injured - well here it is.

 

The injury (or rather issue when unfolding and drying the wings) takes away a little from its beauty, but at the same time, provides a hint of the colour of the ventral side of the wings. If you want a shot of the entire other side, here is a different specimen with the wings folded: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52957971561/
