    Default Butterfly Recognition.

    Guess what are the butterflies.

    These butterflies were dog-fighting over the tree top .They were just too fast and too far to tell what they are with naked eyes.

    Took this at ISO 1600. 1/8000 sec F/11 in attempting to ID them. Will post result tomolo.

    Any hints on the speed? km/h?

    From the EXIF, it must be flying super fast...

    Fast, high-flying dog-fight, good sized species - I'll guess Troides helena.
