Photographer's Note

Diaethria Clymena.

This was taken at the Iguassu Falls (Cataratas del Iguazú / Cataratas do Iguaçu) at the Argentinian side.
I was in some place of the metalic catwalk that runs at the upper part and saw many of this small butterflies. I first took a picture of it alone, but my friend managed to make it land on his finger and pose enough time for the picture to be shot. It was something like 1200 hours. I used all the 300mm of my 75-300 zoom lens.

Modified levels a little in PS. Gaussian blur to the background (2.3) and unsharp masking thereafter to the whole picture (settings: 20/50/0).

Update: this picture also shows the same kind of butterfly.
