  The unsettling thing about this viewpoint, in my opinion, is that the proboscis of the butterfly is hidden from view. I am also unable to discern the body shape, colouration of the ventral side and underwing. I can only make out the head, back, left wing, and tail. In other words, I would really like to see more of the body than just the wings. Still, the details are excellent. Wolverine XI 13:06, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

  Lastly, where are the six jointed legs? Wolverine XI 13:07, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
