I liked the name of this butterfly that I photographed in Thailand — the Paris Peacock. I wanted to capture the brilliant green of the topside of the wings, while also displaying the underside with the colorful rings along the back edge. The Paris Peacock also has two large turquoise patches on the topside of the wings, which are impossible to see from this angle.

Stunningly beautiful, just like the “city of lights”!
