Here is a clipper. The Clipper (Parthenos sylvia) is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in South and South-East Asia, mostly in forested areas. The Clipper is a fast flying butterfly and has a habit of flying with its wings flapping stiffly between the horizontal position and a few degrees below the horizontal. It may glide between spurts of flapping (Source Wikipédia). Hope you enjoy.

This is a really nice shot. The color mix is intense, yet very pleasant. Getting good close-up butterfly shots like this can be tough, so kudos for this beauty.
