The Greta oto is native to South America but seen today flying around a Southsea museum.
I used to take the children there decades ago, it's hardly changed, but I think the butterfly house is about a third the size it was back then!
PoJT- it was actually warm, dry and sunny for my stroll around the seafront looking for yellow subjects for the camera club project. Best one was found at The Tenth Hole- a lemon meringue pie!!
You have captured this very pretty butterfly beautifully! Such a delicate creature!
I challenge you to give Rembrant lighting a try for your get pushed challenge. You can use an actual person for a model or use a mannequin or doll - just as long as you get that triangle under the eye!!
@farmreporter I'm so sorry, I can't achieve your challenge this week. I tried on me and gave up. I'm now away and won't have time. Feel free to reissue if we're partners again. I hate failing in a challenge and letting down my challenger
I could get into your yellow subject spied today.
I think we might have a native version - which I might have seen!
