Hello Friends,
This is another Julia Butterfly photo that I took at Indianapolis White River Gardens and I hope you like it:)
Cheers Y'all,
Chris Tolga

Dryas julia (syn: Dryas iulia), also known as the Julia butterfly or Julia Heliconian, is a species of butterfly (an insect). The sole representative of its genus, the Julia is native from Brazil to southern Texas and Florida, and in summer can sometimes be found as far north as eastern Nebraska. Its wingspan ranges from 82 to 92 mm, and it is colored orange (brighter in male specimens) with black markings.

It feeds on the nectar of flowers including lantana and shepherd's needle, and its caterpillars form hosts in passion vines including Passiflora affinis and Passiflora lutea (the yellow passionvine) in Texas. The Julia is a fast flier and frequents clearings, paths, and margins of forests and woodlands. Over 15 subspecies have been described.

Amazing detail and colour Chris. Yet another superb macro.

Hi Chris,
This is another remarkable photograph! The p.o.v., colours, detail are all of the highest quality.
I reckon the butterfly is a bit of an acrobat. He seems to be showing you how far he can stretch the leaf!

Hi Chris,
Wonderful photograph you've taken here, my friend. Excellent composition placing the butterfly in the right third while the leaf extends across the photo...well done. Excellent detail and colour with great use of a shallow DOF to allow the subject to stand out. Very nicely done. Cheers, Todd

hi Chris,
you do these very well indeed !
I like the use of the narrow DOF - it gave an excellent bokeh here.. the main subject is very well focused on too :-)
Best regards, Daniel
