Comment Very interesting subject and it has wow. Good light and composition. Unfortunately, the technical quality is a bit dissapointing to me. Not as crisp and detailed as I would normally expect for a butterfly FP. On the other hand it is mentioned that is a small butterfly. How small? If very small, I think the technical issues are mitigatable. --Slaunger (talk) 22:08, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Wingspan of adult female (when wings fully opened) is 22mm and male is 16mm. This is a male and you can see the size difference in the 'mating pair' in 'other version' under file description. Thanks. Jkadavoor (talk) 03:50, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
- Weak support Thanks for answering. Considering the small size, I think the technical quality is acceptable. --Slaunger (talk) 13:19, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Oppose I think the butterfly is white, not green. Bad colors! --Alchemist-hp (talk) 15:07, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
- Yes; But I didn't understand what you mean. (The underside is white with a series of dark brown to black marginal spots and a post-discal series of disjoint striae. On the hindwing there is a prominent black spot in space 7 near the costa and a much smaller black spot in space 1a.) This is a shadow loving butterfly active only in the evening or cloudy days. And this is a 'in vivo' shot taken in natural lights scattered from the plants around. For real colors, please refer a collected specimen (In vitro) or a museum specimen.

- Could you (or anybody) explain a bit more? My photoshop says up to RGB(250,254,255) on white parts. Further the female looks more white, this one (male) has a mix of brown and white colors. Jkadavoor (talk) 09:36, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
