While roaming around with my colleague in search of the spot swordtail, had spotted them at some areas of Sanjay Gandhi national park, i couldnt spot any of them, but could see a lot of others. Almost filled with disappointment while we decided to leave the place, through the dried trail, we finally spotted a swordtail and the best thing was it was very static, probably in sleep(around 10:30 a.m.). We both positioned ourselves comfortably along the slope-y area filled with dried grass and few burnt down patch and tried getting as many shots as possible. The butterfly slowly started opening its wings, but whenever a wasp or other butterfly flew by it would close it back again. After several such instances finally it opened up completely and slowly closed it back before flying off to a different spot. Here is one of those moments I could successfully capture.
I believe, experts correct me if I am wrong, that these beauties stay stagnant till 10:30 11 and then become very active as in previous occasions I had spotted them very active and agile in the later part of the day.
EXIF:
Canon 550D
Canon 55-250 IS
F/7.1
Shutterspeed 1/1600
ISO 400(because it was a strange day with big patches of flying cloud I had to keep the ISO slightly higher)
Handheld
