Hello Everyone,
This is another Julia Butterfly photo that I took at Indianapolis White River Gardens and I hope you like it:)
Have a Nice Weekend,
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.

Hi Chris,

Just a perfect image! I failed to capture butterfly few weks ago when I visited butterfly garden at Kuala Lumpur. I did not bring proper lens.

Your picture is sharp and well composed.

Beautiful macro and soft color composition.

WOW! Excellent sharpness, DOF and details.
They do have a tendency to not open their wings when we want them to :-).
And when they do, you have to be quick about it.
Excellent.
