This is a very large Golden Birdwing butterfly. It's in the swallowtail family and it's wingspan is 5.5 to 6.5". It brought to mind the character from Star Wars when I saw it.
We are very liberal in what we accept at SNATM, Kathy:)...this would fit in well with its' similarity to that movie character...also reminds me of Batman...great shot!
Looks like it is caught and trying to escape Kathy. You should have put this in SNATM. I like the wire looking mat. It lets Darth breathe. Good find and foto.
An amazing capture, Kathy, because I've never seen a butterfly that huge in real. I agree with the ones who've suggest you to put it into the SNATM-theme (🎥) gallery.
