With its vibrant orange wings and intricate markings, this wild creature is a true marvel of nature. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every detail, from the delicate patterns on its under side to the perfectly formed wings that enable it to gracefully flutter through the air. In this particular image, we are treated to a rare glimpse of the butterfly's proboscis partly unfurled.
