  Thanks -- it is in really good condition, probably because I bought this one so it's not as old as some of the others in my collection. This was the one that I had to re-shoot because the clay was showing in the first batch of photos that I took of it. Derp. ;P Posted 3 years ago

    That explains why it looks so good. Don't beat yourself up regarding the clay, positioning like this is not that easy. Posted 3 years ago

Brilliant colors and the tips of the hind wings really set it off. Posted 3 years ago

  Yes! And, it is so plain with its wings closed:
