Description

Nikon 7900 pocket camera - hand held image. This young male looks very much like the females of the species. I know it is a male because of the shape of the appendages at the end of the tail. This one has just the slightest hint of white forming on the wings. Tomorrow I will post an image of a mature male. Thanks to those who take the time to comment. Lee

Nice snapshot. That must have been difficult to get because those suckers rarely hold still.

The translucent look of the wings is so very well seen here. Awesome shot.

This shot is great for comparing both front and back wings Lee, I like the paterns in the structure of them. In this one the front and back in the clear section of the wings is almost identical, whilst the coloured section is a different sort of make up. A very interesting shot for me. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!! I hope your work on the exhibition is on track.
