Scarlet Peacock - _TNY_6187
Another one from the Haga Ocean butterfly house - I'm closing in on 500 shots posted from there now.
This is a male scarlet peacock (Anartia amathea), a smallish species compared to some of the other species there. They have a clear sexual dimorphism, ie the male and female are easy to tell apart based on appearance. Compare this one to the female here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52117296583/
For the entire album of shots from the butterfly house, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/albums/72157708178863605/
