The scientific name: Chrysopelea paradisi
Amazing. Wish I could see that gliding! Does it have some lateral skin that it expands for gliding?
WOW!
Gorgeous
Cool! Did you put it there or was it already on the flower when you saw it?
Beautiful snake and shot! You should add the scientific name to complete your spotting so it can be removed from the unidentified list :)
Just too fast than the shutter.
