Re: Fivebar Swordtail

It's a great shot of the butterfly and I like how the lighting accentuates the texture of the wing scales. But my brain is struggling to make sense of the in-focus area of background toward center right, which appears to be cloned from the lower right. Was that intentional? thanks for pointing out ...

Hi Rik, Thanks and I do agreed that this is possibly the shed skin of the caterpillar (there were actually another one sitting beside this cat. before i took the pic).
