Blue Glassy Tiger - a flight in motion

Very seldom one could take a butterfly in flight (BiF) shots especially on handheld. I was given an opportunity to do so recently with the help of a friendly Blue Glassy Tiger (Ideopsis vulgaris macrina).

Flitty flutter as gently as it came.



There were two of them and I think this could be a male.



Early March is a flowering season over here. The Bidens pilosa flower attracted a number of butterfly species and one of them is the Blue Glassy Tiger



Off it goes again. It gently 'hops' from one flower to the other.




Finally I've got an almost perfect open wings' shot.




Almost like a 'Humming Bird', it stayed at one spot for awhile.



Flying around and still undecided which flower to attend to.



Finally it decided on the bottom flower.
