Shitty Life! Saw lots of this Simplex Clearwing Butterfly - Pteronymia simplex simplex in one particular trail of a remote mountain but very difficult to get good pictures of them until I realised they stay put for longer when they are &#039;feeding&#039;.  And they are not feeding on flowers but bird&#039;s droppings!<br />

Saw lots of this Simplex Clearwing Butterfly - Pteronymia simplex simplex in one particular trail of a remote mountain but very difficult to get good pictures of them until I realised they stay put for longer when they are 'feeding'. And they are not feeding on flowers but bird's droppings!

    1. Thanks, fchristant.
      Was surely very lucky indeed with this encounter.
      Initially, there were just 2 of them and then a third one came into the frame. They adjusted their positions and eventually, I was able to get this shot of them posed so nicely :)
