Sonel

Welcome here

The pretty butterfly is a Foxy charaxes Charaxes jasius saturnus Where have you seen it? It's a nice find $\O$

Can we add it to our AW butterfly book?

Thanks for the lovely welcome Toko and for identifying this cutie. You are so well informed! I really appreciate it. $\O$
I rescued it from our swimming pool and it didn't want to let go of my finger, so I took a few shots of it while it dried its wings in the sun.

You are more than welcome to add it to the book and thanks for asking. It would be an honour.

$O\/$ $O\/$ $O\/$ It's a pleasure, Sonel

Great to have another butterfly lover around here

Well done with the rescue

Will add soon, have to look up some more info for the write-up first $\O$

I think you are a keen photographer $O/\$

Thanks Toko. You are really sweet.

Oh, I love butterflies indeed. It's just so difficult to capture them as they are so fast and I was really lucky with this one. $O/\$

Good luck.

I found some info on Wikipedia and updated my post I did about it, with a link to the Forum so they can see who were so clever to identify this beautie, and I am very glad about it as it's so difficult to sometimes search for something that you don't know the name of, and you are more than welcome to go and have a look and add some more of the photo's if you'd like :

Thank you for the lovely compliment too. You are way too kind. I just love nature and animals and can't get enough of it.

That's cool Toko. Thanks!

Thanks for the lovely welcome and compliment BT and was just there. Your macro's are absolutely gorgeous and I will for sure. I just have to find my way around the forum. The blonde braincells are getting slower by the minute.
