Blue Glassy Tiger (Ideopsis vulgaris) | 10% to shy-fox

I spotted this beautiful butterfly was perching on wild flower and I got some time to take its photo. This butterfly is quite similar to the Dark Glassy Tiger. Known as blue glassy tiger (Ideopsis vulgaris,) a butterfly that belongs to the crows and tigers, that is, the danaid group of the brush-footed butterflies family. It seems, this butterfly likes to spend time around the bush by flying here and there.

To capture its pictures, I had to act fast or it would disappear from my sight at any minute. I was thrilled to see it with the wing open and of course, I had to watch its movements. This species, as we commonly refer to them, are relatively big and attractive butterflies with the blue pattern on both its wings and tend to fly weakly amongst low shrubbery and grasses.
