6011. Julia Heliconian. Should have used 1/2000 sec instead of 1/100 sec as butterfly is fast

 Julia Heliconian is a narrow-winged butterfly with elongated forewings. On the upperside, the wings are bright orange in the male and duller orange in the female. There are black borders along the wing margin, with those in the female broader and more extensive. On the underside, the wings for both sexes are paler compared to the upperside
