Large Butterfly
Hi All ,
I took this shot on a recent trip to Thailand , so hard to track , I have since found out the best time is in the early hours when the temperature is slightly cooler , to slow them down . I tried to show scale of these as this was almost the size of a sparrow and in the wild .

If that butterfly is almost the size of a sparrow then heavens knows the size of an elephant out there.
