Glassy Tiger Butterfly (Ideopsis vulgaris)

Coming back with some pics of a typical butterfly that I took from different locations and times. Their playground is around the bushes. The day I came, all these butterflies were moving quite a lot, flying here and there and making a short stop on the wild plants. I had little chance to take their photos and needed some time to adjust to the light and speed. This species, as we commonly refer to them, are relatively big and attractive butterflies with the blue pattern on both its wings and tend to fly weakly amongst low shrubbery and grasses. This butterfly is a fast flyer, and to get its pictures, I had to wait for some time until it really made a stop on this wildflower. They usually bask with half-open wings and prefer shade to the sun. As I used a DSLR, it might allow me to shoot from a distance range and this could make it feel safe.
