I knew this was a butterfly, as I have seen them before. You got a excellent shot! Bravo! Also looks like a pair of lips.

Ha! It's fantabulous! I have never seen a butterfly like this one Fred, how amazing mother nature is. Before I read your notes I thought it was leaf in the shape of lips smiling!lol! What a super find and it's camouflage is flawless! Excellent techs all around, so interesting!;)

thanks a lot again Wendy; unfortunately I was unable to find one on a tree: impossible with such a camouflage.
several reviewers suggested smiling lips: I"ll keep it for a contest, since I have other pics of it

It is a very unique butterfly Fred I love it:) I see Jairos has left the site, I hope he is ok, he didn't say why other than his life has started another chapter, I hope it is a good chapter:)
-
I hope for him; I know he has some business with Nat. Geographic
-
Wow! Nat. Geographic, taking pics?
-
yes, I think
-
That is fabulous! He should be very proud of himself, I'm so happy for him!;)

I was going to write something entirely different until I saw the words dead leaf with legs. Like you I think this is fantastic camouflage, I don't think he can be seen unless moving.

Comment from gidavidson
Wow, how neat, had me fooled at first. Nice focus, frame and exposure to show the leafy details. Looks like a sign of fall to arriving in a few months.

Comment from Montana Shooter
Oh my goodness! The camouflage of this butterfly is fantastic. I never would have guessed if I hadn't read your notes (do I pass the test?).
What a great capture of this amazing creature.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
HOLY GUACAMOLE why didn't you put this up into the camouflage contest?
I was going to chastise you for putting an orange leaf on an orange pedestal and how it didn't pop the leaf out but now I understand.
What is further amazing (to me) is how you know the names of these beasts! (and flowers too).
I am curious to see how many didn't read your notes...ha ha ha....you have piqued my curiosity with this shot and notes.

Comment from Molly Hungar
How interesting. I guess people are surprised when the dead leaf flies away. I read your notes and thanks for sharing this. You did a great job of capturing it

Incredible. I would have never guessed that it is a butterfly. You are right, it is one of the best camouflage that i have ever seen as well. Your focus is very good and so is the lighting. Great job.
