        Looking at the colours of this wing, it could be one. Is this an in flight shot?
        Proud to be a butterfly Vanessa atalanta, a recently emerged specimen that led me to spend a few moments in their company. <br /> One the most photographed species all over the world, for sure the species that I too photographed the most, yet one of the most beautiful to contemplate...<br /> <br /> EXIF: Nikon Nikkor 80-200mm 4.5 @200mm | f/8 | 12mm EXT | Flash Red Admiral,Vanessa atalanta,vanessa atalanta
