The triangle

ID: Dark palm dart

Spotted this typically perched pose of the Dark Palm dart, a very active butterfly highly sensitive to slightest of noises, leading to a long and patience testing dedication to get the right frame of the pose.

Nice bright colours of this butterfly. It is not easy to get close to these fellows when they are active. Wish you can get one shot with the camera completely parallel to the butterfly. Thanks for sharing.
