Glasswing Butterfly

I rescued this one from a spider web. She was then happy to pose for me while she recovered from the ordeal. Her wings are quite transparent, hence the name glasswing. If you view large you can see through the wing to see the stamen of the hibiscus.

(Acraea andromacha)

Thanks so much for taking the time to look at my shots, I know how time consuming it can be trying to keep up.
