Wide Opened

Malaysia

This is a very common butterfly found in Malaysia. Though it's only black and white in colour, I find a certain attraction to it for it's beautiful patterns. This in particular is special as it was captured in the wild flying outside the farm. It's not shot from a Butterfly garden under enclosure so it's a chance of a lifetime find. A special dedication to CM Kwan for his kind friendship.
