Banded Peacock Butterfly

This butterfly is perched on the inside of the screen tent that houses the butterflies at the Botanic Garden. Generally I prefer to see butterflies on flowers but I liked the graphic nature of this image.

It's a very beautiful specimen Barb & I agree, the substrate here gives a unique graphic to your 'nature' :wink:
Well done :wavey:

This works very well. I love the netting lines surrounding the butterfly. Very artistic!
