Unmissable Again - _TNY_7271

One of the more spectacular butterflies at the Haga Ocean butterfly house is the leopard lacewing (Cethosia cyane). This isn't the most spectacular angle

 

Part one was taken from the ventral side and can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52071860292/

 

Dorsal side again: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52047713818/)

 

And another one of the ventral side: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52636306632/

The female of this species has the same pattern, but the saturation slider pulled down near zero like this: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52049869809/

 

I actually managed to photograph this species in the wild in Vietnam back in 2018. Here's a shot: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/26584479718/
