Butterfly

[Ric]

Captured this one of a butterfly, just landed on the branch next to me as wasn't too fussed about me being there.

I think it was just happy to enjoy the sunshine.

Cheers

Well done Ric,

Just goes to show, it pays to have your camera at the ready, never know what might come along.

I agree with Trevor, you've always got to have a camera with you.

Nice one Ric, I looove Butterflies

[Ric]

Thanks all, it was a large butterfly about a handspan across.

It had been flying around for about a half hour until it stopped so I grabbed my chance.

The camera is always at the ready and most weekends it just sits on the kitchen table just in case.

Cheers

Where's Ving, he'd be able to tell us what sort it is.

[Ric]

I know it's not a Cabbage Butterfly, they are white.

Beautiful image of an Papilio aegeus or the Orchard Swallowtail.
Thanks Ric

[Ric]

Thanks Lydia, it's good to have a name to it.

Cheers

Hi Ric

There is great amount of detail in the picture Ric. The wing span in particular is beautiful and the subject is well centred in the frame.

Thanks all for your kind comments.

The Butterflies are starting to disappear around my way for another season. I'll have to start trying to get pictures of the Black Cockatoos.
