Not a pretty butt but it's a +1 for me

True, but Leptosia nina is notoriously difficult to shoot, it just never stops moving!

I think Psyche is a pretty butt, very elegant. Just that they normally stop at the shaded area.

Hey Les, u might wanna try early morning at ard 8 am when it's still sleepy? This fella kept on resting that I took plenty of pix of it. Flash doesn't seem to bother this fella at all too.

Ah Yes, I remember reading that you are out and about nice and early! I must try that when there are more about round here. I stopped seeing them in any great numbers about 1 month ago, so they should be coming round again soon.

Well, I caught the picture of one when it was resting under a bouganvilla plant (pardon the spelling). About 1730h, I found it when I was shaking the plants to see if any butts flew out. This little beauty was apparently disturbed and flew around quite a bit, before it returned to the same spot and rested there. So I managed to catch quite a number of shots of it that day.
