[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photograph is taken when I took a walk around the warehouse zone located in Koto-ku, Tokyo in this summer. I saw Common Bluebottle(Graphium sarpedon) is flying to the roadside tree at the entrance of a warehouse. Full length is about 30 to 45 mm. A wing is black and the belt of blue-green has pierced through it to the front wing and the hind wing. Flying power is high and flies around trees or a flower about quickly at high speed. An imago eats the honey of a flower and a larva mainly eats the leaf of the plant of the department of a camphor tree. It's the butterfly which makes a south direction the origin, and inhabites in wide range of East Asia, Southeast Asia, and northern Australia.

Very nice lighting, showing off the colours incl. black in all their details. The cropping is just too tight for my liking.
