************************************************

The Clipper (Parthenos sylvia) is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in South and South-East Asia. It is species found mostly in forested areas. The Clipper is a fast flying butterfly and has a habit of flying with its wings flapped stiffly between the horizontal position and a few degrees below the horizontal. It may glide between spurts of flapping.
Male and female. Upperside : ground-colour a bright bronze-green, the subhyaline white spots near apex of cell in the fore wing more opaque, the broad discal band of large white spots proportionately more basal further from the termen and very irregular, the spots, especially towards the hinder part of the wing, more widely separated, the spot in interspace 5 more acutely triangular and smaller, the two spots above shifted obliquely inwards towards the costa, making the outer margin of the discal band angulate at interspaces 5 and 6. Hind wing: the postdiscal and sub-terminal markings broader and more diffuse than in P. gambrisius, giving a dark shade to the whole of the apical half of the wing. Underside pale greenish grey. Fore wing: the spots and markings except the basal black streaks as on the upperside, the groundcolour fading to an ashy grey towards the terminal margin. Hind wing similar to the underside of hind wing of P. gambrisius, but the discal transverse sinuous black line very broken and incomplete, the postdiscal, subterminal and terminal black markings somewhat better denned. Antennae black; head, thorax and abdomen bronze green, barred with black above ; beneath whitish

Larva. Cylindrical; head and anal segment with short simple spines; segments 3 to 12 with longer branched spines, reddish brown in colour, those on 3 and 4 comparatively very long. Colour pale green, with yellowish-white lateral stripes one on each side. Pupa "brown, boat-shaped." (After Davidson & Aitken)

Hey!
Your picture is really good.
Nice colours, very nice colours and a great sharpness.
Well chosen DOF!

I like it!

Hello Piotr,
1600 ISO??? Wow! You did a great job here. I guess that you used a noise reduction (I see it from its body's details) but it was well done as we can still admire nice details. I like the pose of the butterfly a lot. Colors, POV and DOF are very nice too. Those guys are so light they can stand on a leave :) This composition is good with nice BG. Well done!

Hello Piotr,
This is a very nice macro with great colours and sharpness. I like how the focus is perfectly set on the head and the antenna of the butterfly. Very well done.

Nice point of view, and effective depth of field, with the head in crisp focus. Nice photo.

Hi Piotr,
Welcome to TL!
You have a collection of BEAUTIFUL photos already. Congratulations.
I find this particularly interesting because of the POV: the way you captured the butterfly's "face" is really amazing.
Perfect sharpness, detail, DOF...and very lovely colors.
TFS

Lurdes
