Danaid Eggfly Butterfly (Hypolimnas misippus)

I liked the spotty thorax on this one
Great photo - I love that you even know the name. Looks like the same ones we are inundated with in my yard of late. Thanks!

@scrapnyak @musikinsey @kasumie13 @bill_d thank you all for your kind words
@brizmako I didn't set out to join macro madness, it just seemed to work out that way. Yesterday I set out to find the rare Abbott's booby (and found it) but the grasshopper was just there, today's shot was again going to be birds, or a view of town from a lookout, but the butterflies just presented themselves, this shot was actually taken with my 70-200 with the 1.4x extender - telephoto takes a pretty nice macro like shot

Ooh pretty! I didn't know there were butterflies with spotty bodies...
