Nice photo Property #1, nature never ceases to amaze me with her color schemes.

Good clear macro. Too bad that upper wing is cut off, though.
But what is he (she?) standing on? Looks like something that used to be edible at some point in history?

The shot was taken at a butterfly conservatory so he/she is on a plate of fruit that I believe the attendants put out for the butterflies. Makes it good as certain species seem to stay very still while feasting.

I agree, very nice shot with good lighting and exposure. Nice and sharp. The 'eye' on the wing really pops out. It would be best if the entire wing was in the frame. Thanks for posting the shot.
