Glimpse - _TNY_0571

The silver-studded leafwing (Hypna clytemnestra) is one of the butterflies which are a bit on the secretive side about showing the dorsal side of thier wings. At rest, they keep them closed - which makes sense as they rely on the camouflage pattern to keep them hidden.

 

This one however kinda sorta opened them just a little bit, offering us a glimpse at what the other side looks like.
