A Branded Imperial Butterfly living in a nature reserve.

---

This Branded Imperial butterfly was spotted among a group in a nature reserve collecting nectar from a flower. The ants swarming around the flower did not bother it one single bit! Using full flash photography, the background was rendered black to give the picture a dramatic effect, helping to accentuate the form of the pretty butterfly.
