Female Courtesan

[Painted Jezebel]

A record shot of the upperside of Euripus nyctelius nyctelius f. euploeoides. It is unusual as it was on the ground, not seen before by me with females of this species. However, it was very skittish, refusing to allow me any closer than about 30 feet, so the pic is heavily cropped. Nevertheless, I think this may be new to most of you.

I have not even seen the female courtesan before. You must be really lucky to get that shot with its wings flat opened. Thanks for sharing!

Even though heavily cropped, but still a nice record image. :thumbsup:
Thanks for sharing, Les!
