The sleepy silver

ID: Common Silverline

One of the most freshest and non-weathered form of the butterfly spotted this early summers, the beauty, despite the sun already heating up the atmosphere, this silver infused angel was hardly moving and rather sat on this upside down position, probably still sleep. The typical tail, the false head and the antenae type extensions, did its level best to fool a few of my fellow photographers who kept on frame the rear end and trying to find the eyes on it, amazing example of mimicry to avoid fatal incidents amongst the insectdom.

Amazing ways of nature to protect the species. Lovely colours and details on the wings. Maybe slightly more space on the top (less at the bottom) would strengthen the composition further. Thanks for sharing.
