Your opinion? Papilio Clytia - Common Mime Butterfly

[Andy Smith]

We get a few of these around the garden at this time of year, but they are a challenge for me to capture as they are endlessly moving around, never staying on the flower for more than a very brief moment.

Nice shot Andy. I took a break from shooting photos due to the heat we are having here (at the moment 30C). For me it is too hot. Back to photography when it isa lot cooler.

Thanks Theo, it is rainy season here now so the temperature has cooled a bit which is nice enough now to wander the garden in the afternoon.
