it certainly knows where best to hide out, with only the tiny roundels to betray it's presence...sharp capture to delineate such a hard-to-spot creature..

Aside from the lovely blue spots this must be hard to find but you managed it and got a great photo.

Other than the small 'bullseyes' on the wing, this species is well hidden in the leaf matter.
