Congratulations! This is the Image of the Week selection for the Flora and Macro Gallery, week ending 17th February, 2012!The Quaker is a tiny butterfly which is forest-dependent. It is normally encountered in the shady trails fluttering weakly below knee level. This individual was shot clinging on to the Cupid's-Shaving-Brush (Emilia sonchifolia)

Neopithecops zalmora zalmora ( The Quaker )

Hi

And a lovely little fellow he is too – although perhaps a slightly posh look with that upturned snout :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously though a beautiful shot of a wonderful butterfly

All the best
Matthew

Stunning shot and composition. The flowers look a tad oversharpened on my monitor.
