Post First Flight, Pt. 2 - _TNY_6292P5
So a while back when I was visiting the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna, Sweden, I got to talking with a couple (from France, I think) who were visiting Sweden and I pointed out one of the cooler butterflies which was still hanging underneath its chrysalis, wainting for its wings to harden.
But as soon as they saw it, the butterfly took off and flew a meter before landing on his arm. We looked a little at it there before I moved it to a leaf of a striped dracena (Dracena fragrans) which grew right next to us.
After he had taken the photos he wanted, I proceeded to take a couple of my own - including this one. This is actually a panorama shot, made up of five exposures which have been combined into one 158 megapixel photo using Kolor Autopano Giga.
The butterfly is called the giant glasswing (Methona confusa) and those yellow antennae tips really stand out in a really cool way if you ask me.
