Heliconius erato has white spots and stripes on the body while this one has red spots. I think it is a species of Parides, but it is hard to tell which one from this photo.

The focus is really special in this photo, it is both sharp yet also soft and charming. Can't explain it, really. Posted 11 years ago

  I know what you mean. I was very pleased which the result.
  I've tried it once again and I never succeeded :(
  I think it is a combination of the right light, angle and focus.

I love the photo, the compound eyes are magical! My guess as to species would be Parides childrenae (female), but without a shot from above it is impossible to say for sure. Posted 8 years ago
