Hidden in Plain Sight

What’s the best way to hide from a predator? Dress like one - and hide in plain sight. The Owl butterfly is an expert in camouflage for just this reason.

This macro photograph shows the intricate detail of the butterfly’s wings and the rich brown colors.

Surprisingly, this little guy sat still on this leaf long enough for me to take nine photos. What you’re looking at is my first - and so far only - successful handheld focus stack macro photo.
