nice try, but next time try the nature reserve instead of sentosa

Will do when i have the correct equipments and if the hobby takes on a whole new level. So far, the interest level is so-so to ok on butterflies. I'm still exploring different types of macro photography. So for now, it doesn't matter nor bothers me if the subjects are wild or captive. Its a picture i'm after and as long as they keep still enough for me they are good subjects and hence good photography opportunities. Except that red butt that took me a long wait to shoot, its like forever fluttering about even when on the flower.

Are they the same species or are they cross breeding?

Wah!! Cool shots!!

Cheers,

Eugene

they are of different genus but sometimes in life, there are exceptions. Although I don't think there will be any offsprings from it

Thanks simon. I was searching for pictures of a male and female mormon online but can't seem to find it similar to the pair above. Hence my thoughts of cross breeding.
