BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY - EVEN UP CLOSE ?

Butterflies are beautiful, I think we would all agree, but what about really up close ?
Another from the local Butterfly house, really need to get back and get the ID guide.

Funny, flies actually look better up close ( well to me at least) but butterflies are less appealing. Japanese beetles however are repulsive from any angle or distance ( once again IMO).
