On Sunday, I made my way back to the local forest to look for another photography stuff. By the time I arrived at this spot, I was welcome by this orange butterfly, known as Indomalayan butterfly, a striking butterfly that is classified into Chersonesia rahria. Mostly live in forests, but there are some of them that can be found in various types of habitats, including urban settlements.
This butterfly can be sometimes seen fluttering over the ground and the dried wood It can be identified by having dark orange and black strip with strikingly beautiful markings. This butterfly is a fast flyer, and to get its pictures I had to wait for some time until it really made a stop on this wildflower.
It flies in short bursts and flutters close to the ground. They usually bask with half-open wings and prefer shade to the sun. As I used DSLR, it might allow me to shoot from a distance range and this could make it feel safe.
