Field Notes

Description:

wingspan of about 6 to 7.5 cm. photo taken from a distance and cropped

Habitat:

tropical rainforest

Notes:

I spotted this at Thung Salaeng Luang national park. I was taking macro pics of butterflies when I saw this on a rock a bit far away. The only problem with macro lens, no zoom. I didn't have time to change lenses so, I took the pic and cropped it after.
