I saw this from a distance and looks like a burned wood. I go closer to get a better look and was so shocked to see it's a butterfly. I got so excited as i know this is going to be a special butterfly. Just took 2 shots wings closed as i don't want him to get away with out opning his wings. I moved position and aimed the camera and waited for him to open his wings.

I am still positioned on the back of the butterfly aiming for the open wing shot at the same time praying please don't fly away let me have atleast 1 shot. I have been waiting for 5 minutes but he's still not opening his wings, my patience is running out and thinking of moving to the side and take some more closed wing shot the all of a sudden/split seconds he opened his wings and fly away. I was so lucky to press the shutter on time and capture this shot.
