Common Tree Nymph, shot in HortPark Butterfly Garden on 26 June 2010.

Hi,

Nice shot of the butterfly, a little bit underexposed tho. I would try to increase exposure during ps. Anyways, good attempt in getting parallel to the butterfly and shooting at such a thin DOF, you must have really steady hands! Another way to brighten up the image is to use flash, just to bring up some details and even out the lighting between the BF and the BG.

I wouldnt call this one a Common Tree Nymph, although it is just the english name of the butterfly which varies a bit. This butterfly orginiates from Taiwan and is quite similar to our Mangrove Tree Nymph (Idea leuconoe chersonesia). I like to call it the Taiwanese Tree Nymph (Idea leuconoe clara) instead :P
 

Hi seefei,

A well taken shot at F/5.6 !:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Pentex outing at Hortpark?:)

Anthony is right this is the Taiwanese Tree Nymph (Idea leuconoe clara) .

The main problem in using common name is it differ from region to region and can caused great confusion, that is the reason we always include the scientific name so that there is no ambiguity .

The two local species are Idea stolli logani (Common Tree Nymph ) and Idea leuconoe chersonesia (Mangrove Tree Nymph)



Cheers!
