This is one of the most intense puddling (butterfly term for gathering on a moist spot) of the Bluebottle butterflies I have ever seen (Graphium sarpedon). The day started slow as the sky was not promising with an overcast sky but as I tracked on, setting my fruit bait, the sky cleared and an intense midday sun brings out this dizzying image on the sandy floor of a forest track...These butterflies are strong and fast flyers and are usually very nervous on the sandbanks, making them quite difficult to photograh but this particular moment, it was overwhelming to say the least...
