Come on guys, it was just the opposite. The dark brown wings with iridescent purple, which shine when viewed from certain angles, made me fall to my knees...

If you admire nature for its creations why don't you visit the gallery of its reporter...
Who cares what color it is? It is beautiful in any color. Great capture Ewa.

The eye of a camera looks into the beauty of all that has been created by God for mankind to see, protect, and preserve for the future generations.
That is just photography at it's very best....11/10.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.
Amazing shot Ewa. Such beautiful colors on this butterfly and I can see its tongue. Amazing work!

It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that.

Great macro. Very nicely done. It must be a woman...she can't decide what color she wants to be.

He's just experiencing his feminine side..lol..beautiful macro, although I'm not usually too thrilled on "hairy" moths or butterflies and hardly ever comment on them, but the coloration on the wings of this one got to me, and the near perfect capture didn't hurt :) Beautiful job :)PJ

"We consider the artist to be a special sort of person. It is more likely that each of us is a special sort of artist." Elsa Gidlow
Amazing photography, Ewa. And such a beautiful butterfly. I just read that they are very elusive. You are then very fortunate to have found him and we are fortunate that you captured him.

CITIZENS of our world, check my website for a riveting, informational video that concerns all of you and the future of our globe. You will be flabbergasted, annoyed, distressed, in disbelief, but you will have been made aware of the WARNINGS. See this film. It gets better as it goes along, but will have your attention from the first quote.
Awesome Ewa. I've never seen one that's to strikingly two colors. A beautiful presentation and capture. Thanks for sharing him.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Hi Ewa, this is the most fantastic Emperor image I've ever seen. Added to which [if you didn't realise] it's the Lesser Purple Emperor [Apatura ilia] which I've never seen in the 'flesh'. So doubly envious. Well done!
