    Looks to me like a Green Swallowtail (Papilio blumei). Beautiful - aren't they :):.

    Assuming the butterfly was actually green and your WB wasn't screwed you did a fine capture. :D Nice work Mark. thumb.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    The white balance is spot on for the scene that was in front of me and yes the butterfly was quite green :-) I have a few more butterfly shots, if time allows maybe I'll share them here today.

    Have a great day today!
