  2. This butterfly are actually quite common in Malaysia. You managed to capture it with the wings down which is the prettier side.

    1. That butterfly was very active, allowing just a second or two for my shots before it moved.

  7. We love butterflies.

    1. On speed we can't beat this male Jacintha Eggfly. I was lucky because it stayed long enough for a few shots. Getting close to snap pictures is like intrusion to it's culinary privacy, but the male butterfly is very territorial, it will keep coming back.
