He's upside down. A crazy mixed-up butterfly. Looks so soft and furry. Gorgeous shot.

Good capture! I don't remember seeing this butterfly before.

@Marilla: The small very blue butterflies are the males of this species... Strangely butterflies can sometimes be like birds with the males being the showier of the sexes!
Monique from Koh Samui, Thailand
Why are they always hanging upside down?! :) Beautiful capture, I like the colors and the composition!
