Wow! How long did you have to patiently wait for that perfect shot?
Wonderfully backlit on its translucent wings.
And amazingly presented in full regalia--even upside down!

A great healthy specimen, no raggedy edges on the wings - and beautifully captured!

Thank you for your great comment Angky! Actually I didn't have to wait long. It was fluttering around feeding in the plant, and it gave me this great pose right away.
