Gday again, In between thunderstorms today i managed to get a shot of a Beautiful male Orchard butterfly-Papilio aegeus. This thing was Huuuge. It would cover your entire open hand easily. It's the first i've ever seen and he landed about 2metres in front of me :D. The second shot is another first. I "think" it's a wood or ground tigermoth. Hope you like 'em

Thanks guys, He was a beautiful specimen. I desaturated the background a fair bit to make him POP a little more.
