Striped albatross butterfly
On a beautiful and peaceful morning, among the lush green leaves, a striped albatross butterfly stood gracefully on a leaf. This striped albatross is a beautiful, medium-sized butterfly that is easy to find but difficult to photograph. It belongs to the Pieridae family. Getting up close to this butterfly is incredibly difficult. Just as I was about to take a step closer, it immediately moved away.
This butterfly's color combination is stunning: pure white adorned with a beautiful, fibrous pattern that follows the black wing veins. The edges of the black lines are also complemented by fine, dense gray dots. This adds a bold and symmetrical impression. At the base of the hind wings, there is a hint of bright yellow. It is truly a beautiful and calming color combination.

The subtlety of the color tones is truly beautiful, with the sublime touch of that small contrast with the yellow. Great work on these photos, as always.
Monday hugs!
