憧れのルリタテハが林道で日光浴してました。越冬明けの成虫。人の気配にとても敏感な蝶らしく、苦節三年でようやくここまで近寄れました。縄張りがあるようで同じ場所に戻­ってきます。人影で驚かせないように考えて近づくのが虫撮りのコツみたいです。手をかざして日差しを遮れば体温が下がって翅を広げてくれるかと期待したのですが...。勇­気凛々瑠璃の色♪

  • thanks for watching.

    my old digital camera cannot zoom-in in the movie mode. (it sucks a lot!)

    during the shooting, i was struck with an idea that if my hand made shadow over the butterfly, its body would cool down and it would open wings to increase the area of sunbathing. but as u see, it was so sensitive and instantly flew away....lol

  • wow that butterfly is huge..
