The Cruiser (Vindula dejone erotella)
Last Sunday was scorching hot out in the field, and ButterflyCircle member EC Goh managed to nail an excellent shot of this puddling male Cruiser (Vindula dejone erotella) within the Central Catchment Area nature reserves. The Cruiser is a common forest butterfly that makes rare forays into urban areas. The species is dimorphic, in that the male and female are different in appearance.
This shot was taken under direct sun, and EC did well in maintaining the exposure of the underside of the butterfly without blowing out the details. The added bonus that makes this shot special, are the extended legs of the butterfly, that makes it look like a ballerina on tip-toe.
