Support I had no idea you can find such a beautiful insect near Changi Airport. Good one. ☯

The place where I shot it has a considerable amount of butterflies, too bad they are gonna clear/have cleared that place to build new runways for CA. I haven't been there for a while, and email me if you want me to disclose the location to you.

And I'm surprised that you labelled the butterfly as "beautiful". I thought only butterfly photographers will be able to appreciate this kind of butterflies.

Support I've never understood the "blend into the environment" thing. I get that they can't be seen by predators... but can't they be stepped on? – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 17:07, 4 July 2013 (UTC)reply
Don't worry, Autumn Leaves are very skittish and have a very large circle of fear. I was only lucky with this guy because he was cooperative enough to sit and smile for the camera. It's very rare for this species of butterfly to cooperate.

Comment: The image may be temporarily unavailable later, as I have nominated it for deletion on Commons as I want to localise it. But don't worry, I will upload it again ASAP after it is deleted.

You can always upload a local copy at Wikipedia and mark it with {{Keep local}}. There's really no reason to delete the Commons file, which would rather be a shame imo.

Sorry, I'm maintaining my stand here as the creator of the work. But yes, after it has been deleted (or I will protest), I would be uploading the local copy here on en.wiki and placing that {{Keep local}} on it.

Responded. The protest will continue. Commons is so messy and disorganized, I've heard. So...
