Spotted this beauty fluttering around the mango tree flowers, quite far away from me, and later settled down on a leaf of another tall plant, about 6-7 feet away from me. Considering the distance and inability to reach any closer I switched to the zoom lens and tried capturing it. It settled on the leaf for a long time and the sunlight was falling right on it, giving me a dark background.

Normally in the early morning their reaction times are slow and one can approach closer. Else, it becomes difficult to get them close. What time was it photographed?
