Sans Leaf - _TNY_0296

On my latest visit to the Haga Ocean butterfly house, the first butterfly I spotted once I got in was this female mocker swallowtail (Papilio dardanus) sitting on the floor.

 

For the first shot, there was a dry leaf on the floor in front of it, slightly blocking the hind wing, but I managed to remove it without scaring the butterfly which enabled me to get this leaf-free shot as well.

 

For a shot of what the male looks like, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/54025674663/
