What colors

This is an amazing butterfly picture. I've never seen one with such coloration, just absolutely beautiful.

Re: What colors

Thank you.
Picture is about flora, but
butterfly was reluctant to move away (8-)

Some say it was peacock that did inspired Kandinsky for this painting

Hard to tell whether Kandinsky ever had an opportunity to see it in the real world, though...
