Oh, I never told that Natural history is an easy job! It is maybe not really a rare species to spot, depending where you are living, but it is not often seen on the internet with a good picture.

Bayucca, do you really think this a rare or not often seen butterfly? I saw quite a dozen around here...
Sergio Monteiro
Bayucca, you'll never know how much sweat that picture costed me...!

OK, job done! Epiphile orea negrina, male! I will check your other one, if it is the same one...

Thank you, Nopayahnah. I only expressed my frustration, because it is so hard to get them with wings fully open...

What you call a bad photograph is something many people would wish for!
