•  Info Melanitis leda, Common evening brown, is a species of butterfly found flying at dusk. This is wet season form. All by Jkadavoor -- Jee 09:16, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
•  Support -- As the common name suggests this butterfly is active only in evening or in a cloudy environment. During the daytime they rest in the undergrowth and so difficult to get a clear view. This is the first time I get a good photo though chasing them since 2010. And surprisingly this is wet season form though the wet season is just starting. So probably this is from the first batch of this year. Jee 09:16, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

•  Support - Not all parts of the butterfly are optimally clear, but the legs, head and antennas are really clear, this is a very large photo for a butterfly photo and the butterfly is beautiful. I also take your points on the challenges of photographing this particular butterfly. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:39, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Yes; the wing is a bit more sharp here (but head not). The hind wings are not firmly closed, demanding more DOF. Jee 11:48, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
