Single Species Session - _TNY_0070 (In Explore 1/9 2024))

When visiting the Haga Ocean butterfly house, I typically come away with shots of a whole bunch of species, but on my August 30th visit, I shot nothing but this species, the pink rose (Pachliopta kotzebuea), also known as the velvet rose.

 

This is a bit of a special species among the ones I've seen there with the spectacular red body and the matte black wings. And this time there were around ten of them which had recently hatched.
