Common Pierrot butterfly seen in Kadavoor, India
  •  Support Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Gets the DOF just right with the right kind of background; love the detail on the antennae and the wing fringes. May be our best butterfly pic, ever. Daniel Case (talk) 18:18, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks, Daniel for your kind words. This nomination (thanks Pine for that) reminds me the old good days that I spent most of my weekend with my little friends in Kadavoor. I wandered with my camera around the bushy-weedy-unattended places near my home, wetlands and water streams near the paddy fields from the morning to evening on those days. I love all insects, but butterflies and dragonflies show more interest on me. They show their love by flying around and chasing me. That makes me humble; I sat with them, kneel or lay on the grounds to make me smaller and smaller to make them more comfortable to play with me. JKadavoor Jee 05:48, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
