Thanks pals for making it fourite. Every time I come back to this picture I remember the time I was crowlling towards it like in the battle field, but camera in my hands!
Thanks ToshimiDowaki, CindyBinghamKeiser, LaurenZarate for the nice comments.
This one was spotted by the Subansiri River bank on a hot day among goup of the orange butterflies. I was already photographing the orange ones, lying flat on the sand on my chest, in a battleground pose, luckily supported by my boate life- jacket. This one became quite cooperative - I even managed to remove the twig in front of it (see the 1st and the 3rd pictures)!
Thanks Marta Rubio Texeir, Jatishwor Signh Irungbam for the comments.
