Sumatran Cornelian Butterfly

Let me share some macro images with the Photography Lovers Community. Just a wild butterfly was captured on a camera phone with simple editing.

This butterfly is identified as the cornelian or hairy line blue and is scientifically named Deudorix epijarbas that belong to the family Lycaenidae .

When the butterfly spreads its wings, you can see the orange color blending with the dark brown on the sides, as well as the fine brown hairs that cover the butterfly's back.

Because of the faded surface of the wingspan, this appears to be an old butterfly. However, it appears that the butterfly is still able to fly.

These photos were taken in Sumatra's Bukit Barisan National Forest Park in North Aceh, Indonesia.


All of the images here are my own work, taken with Xiaomi POCO NFC smartphone and an assembled external macro lens.

The images are all so captivating. Butterflies surely have their way of enchanting the human eyes, especially through their wings. They remind me of how vulnerability can sometimes appear as the most mesmerizing state of a being. Thank you for letting us see the same beauty you have witnessed.

That is right. I absolutely love all kinds of butterflies and moths and never pass one up when I see one. With their spoiled behavior, they will sometimes perch on your finger without fear of being hurt. It means they want to be friends with you.

Thanks for dropping by 😊
