Butterfly Behind Green Leaves || 10% to shy-fox

Another glassy tiger butterfly that I accidentally found on the flower behind the green leaves. It belongs to the family Nymphalidae and of the most recognizable butterflies in Indomalaya realm. When seeing it was there covering itself with greend leaves. I had to find the way to take its photos, by crouching behind these leaves and tried to make them as the foreground. The problem was that, the focus that sometime distracted me with the leaves.

I used to this typical butterfly was busy flying here and there during the daylight and seem to hard to catch as it moved quite lots but after involving in several attempts, I was finally able to have its pictures behind the green leaves. Butterflies always fascinated me with their color that brilliantly appeared from their wing while the white dots on the front part is adorable to notice.

This butterfly is commonly found throughout Asia and Southeast Asia that usually produce wet season, dry season and intermediate forms that used to be seen in open areas of primary and secondary forest, including along riverbanks, roadsides and mostly hang around the flowers.
