[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Thank you Peter for your kind help providing the ID for this butterfly:

Ituna ilione

Altrought it looks like it was taken at night it was actually mid day when I took this shot, but it was underneath the canopy in a cloudy day, so I had to use the flash.

Thanks for stopping by!

Simon

Ótima imagem do que parece ser uma Thyridia psidii. Grande composição, nitidez e enquadramento.
Até a próxima.

Hello Simon,
This is a real beauty of a butterfly! I also like the surroundings you caught in this shot. Very nice to see the reflections of the wings and the interesting perspective created by the fern-plant(?). It would be nice to transfer the name of the butterfly( given by Peter) in your note.
Very well seen.
Kind regards
Anne
