Description
Red Tip (butterfly)... this species is found in the continent of Africa, scattered from Gambia to Ethiopia and south to Angola, Namibia, Mozambique, and South Africa. It also occurs in southwestern Arabia. This species inhabits savanna, Acacia scrub and large clearings in dry woodland. This species has a wingspan of 1.57–1.77 inches (4–4.5 cm). It has pure white dorsal sides with yellow, orange, or red tips on the forewings.
In the background are two Arabian Ostriches. This ostrich went extinct in 1966 due to hunting from vehicles in Arabia.

Excellent image. (One day, mark my words, human beings are going to catch up with the mosquito!)
What a great scene, but such sad news about the Arabian Ostriches. People will never learn!
A very interesting explanatory narrative and your composition is truly beautiful and atmospheric.
Fantastic work!
I hope someone somewhere might have a few examples of Ostriches. Here's hoping! Nice work Ken!
