Hello Ricardo,
This is a very good photo of the magnificent butterfly with those large wings. The sharpness is perfect and it stands out so well against the green surroundings.
Best regards,

Hello Ricardo, the bright green background is perfect as we are able to study the butterfly without any distractions.
Black with an interesting pattern. It must have been exciting to discover a new butterfly so many years ago.
Kind regards, Jean.
